Exception Bug in .Net WebClient DownloadStringAsync Methode [Update]

Tja da frag ich mich ewig warum die ‚DownloadStringAsyn‚-Methode der ‚WebClient‚-Klasse von .Net mir eine NullReferenz Exception zurück gibt und am Ende muss ich feststellen, dass es an meiner URL lag… Von vorne:

Ich versuche mit der ‚DownloadStringAsync‘-Methode die browser.html von ‚MPC-HC‚ abzurufen um so die dort aufgeführten Werte in der dazugehörigen Windows Phone 7 App zu verarbeiten. Dies aber funktioniert nie, da ich immer eine NullReferenz Exception zurückbekomme.

So sieht z.B. eine der aufgerufenen URLs aus:

http://10.41.2.2:13579/browser.html?path=C:\Users\username\Desktop

Das Problem?
Die ‚DownloadStringAsync‘-Methode kommt nicht mit den Backslash’s klar und wirft eine absolut nichts sagende Exception.

Die Lösung?
‚MPC-HC‘ akzeptiert es auch, wenn man den Pfad Namen durch Slash’s trennt. Und schon läufts 🙂 Dies ist natürlich kein Bugfix sondern lediglich ein Workaround. Der Bug selbst ist hier schon bei Microsoft gemeldet.

[Update]: Ok, ich habe nun ein gut funktionierenden Workaround gefunden, man muss nur alle Backslashs mit „%5C“ ersetzen dann klappt alles wie gewollt.
