title: Call a webpage from c# in code
body: <p>I need a way of calling a web page from inside my .net appliction. </p>
  
  <p>But i just want to send a request to the page and not worry about the response. </p>
  
  <p>As there are times when the response can take a while so i dont want it to hang the appliction. </p>
  
  <p>I have been trying in side the page_load event</p>
  
  <pre><code>WebClient webC = new WebClient();
  Uri newUri = new Uri("http://localhost:49268/dosomething.aspx");
  webC.UploadStringAsync(newUri, string.Empty);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Even though its set to Async, it still seams to hang as the page wont finish rendering until the threads have finsished</p>
