Receiving a web response asynchronously

[PeterK]

With the code below, which I copied from the MSDN, I am getting only part of
the the web-page 'MyUrl' returned (this is a synchronoues access).
My hunch is that I have to use asynchronous access, which requires the use
of IAsynchResult - besides other things.
Does anyone have or can anybody point to code for this, please?!
TIA

Dim request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(MyUrl),
HttpWebRequest)
' Set some reasonable limits on resources used by this request
request.MaximumAutomaticRedirections =12
request.MaximumResponseHeadersLength = 12
' Set credentials to use for this request.
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
Dim response As HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(),
HttpWebResponse,True)

I doubt that it would make a difference being Async vs Synch. My thought
is maybe the web request is timing out before the full request is filled and
the partial request is sent back. Or maybe there is something in the
HTML|Code returned that makes it think that it is done? Hope this helps and
have a great day!

Yes, that helped: The URL had a wrong parameter which made it get a shorter
response.
The question that remains, though, is:"If the web request (this client)
times out, how to lengthen the timeout interval?".
In which cases would an aysnchronous connection be needed?
Thank you.

request.Timeout = 30000 ' 30 seconds
