WebResponse.GetResponse

I've been reading, and ive come across some information that states: "the WebRequest class function GetResponse locks the access to all other processes, the WebRequest tells the retrieved response as closed"

How can i fix this? i was thinking, sockets would work, but i dont know how to get/access web pages data using sockets (i only know how to get the main host data...since that's where the IP address directs)

or even async GetResponse (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...09(VS.71).aspx)

re: WebResponse.GetResponse

and if i choose the async method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...409(VS.71).aspx
- does anyone know a simpler explanation, this one confuses me :(

re: WebResponse.GetResponse

a *lot* of functions are blocking like that. Does it take too long for you or something?

re: WebResponse.GetResponse

It doesnt process all the webrequests properly

re: WebResponse.GetResponse

GetResponse() should only block the current thread, not anything else.

re: WebResponse.GetResponse

hmm..so if i make each new request start on a new thread i should be in good shape?

re: WebResponse.GetResponse

I think?
The requests shouldn't take very long anyway though?
