I need to get progress while trying to download a big string. Till now i am using WebClient.

using (var client = new WebClient())
{
   client.DownloadProgressChanged += Client_DownloadProgressChanged;
   var jsonString = await client.DownloadStringTaskAsync(uri);
}

Is it possible to create the same event in http client? I din't find anything so easy in internet.

No but it looks so difficult to me. WebClient have just one single method for this – papa dp Mar 25 '21 at 21:28
@Jasen whoops! I misclicked and selected the wrong one. Good catch, thanks! – JD Davis Mar 25 '21 at 21:35

I need to download a big string not a file – papa dp Mar 25 '21 at 21:41
You'd still handle it as a Stream https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1879395/how-do-i-generate-a-stream-from-a-string – Jasen Mar 25 '21 at 21:58
