Why does the windows phone application not see GetRespons?

Question

Computer networks

I write under the computer everything is fine and everything works
here is a piece of code

string address = "http://kladr-api.ru/api.php?query=";
                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(address);
                request.Method = "GET";
                request.Timeout = 10000;
                request.Accept = "application/json";
                HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
                var stream = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

and the same thing for windows phone emphasizes GetRespons, what's wrong?

Answer 1

Because the phone has a different API.

Answer 2

Under windows phone (initially, this was done under silverlight), there is no synchronous GetResponse, instead you should use asynchronous operations, for example, BeginGetResponse or GetResponseAsync.
