Webclient and timer

Hi,

I face a strange behavior to me. I want to grab datas from a webpage on the net.
I use a cobra I but with the webclient gadgeteer library.
The thing is that I can grab my datas correctly one time, but all other try return no response at all…
I really don’t know why. What am I doing wrong ?
My first thought was to think that using the gadgeteer lib was not a good idea with plain netmf, but it works one time ! so…

Any idea ?

Thank you in advance

@ gregFR14 - I am surprised the WebClient worked once! You are going to have to get into the Gadgeteer code to figure out what is happening. Gadgeteer code is not going to work with plain NETMF without changes.

@ Mike - yes,you are right. I know that perhaps it could be possible to use the webclient lib according to this document : https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/349/using-gadgeteer-after-2016-r1.
It says that We need to instanciate the Program class like Gadgeteer does in Program.generated.cs. But I really don’t know how to do it in my code.
And, maybe it will not work…
I will try the NETMF way to make my request.
