WWW in C#

In C#, I can use

Code (csharp):

1. WWW.GetURL("http://unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/WWW.html");

to block execution while retrieving a web page. However, I can't use

Code (csharp):

1. WWW("http://unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/WWW.html");

to get the web page asynchronously (non-blocking). What is the correct syntax for C#? All the examples in the manual and wiki are in JavaScript.

Thanks.

 

To create an object in C# you must add the new keyword to the statement, which is optional in Javascript:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. new WWW("http://unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/WWW.html");
3.  

 

Thanks for your reply, freyr. When I try "new WWW...," I get the following error message:

"the type 'UnityEngine.WWW' has no constructors defined"

So, if WWW is an object, why does it have no constructors, even default? And, if I should use a coroutine here, which function is the coroutine, assuming it is supposed to return an IEnumerator type? (GetURL returns a string)

I am still pretty new to C# (though I have extensive C++ experience), so I may be misunderstanding the language somewhere. I'd like to solve this problem, and see a working example in C#.

Thanks for any clarifications!

 

Not a problem. Thanks for the info!
