Handling the System.Net.WebE xception ....

[genc_ ymeri at hotmail dot com]

Hi,
I'm trying to recieve the response status code rather than the message in
the below code :

try
{
responseArray =
myWebClient.Upl oadValues(uriSt ring,"POST",myN ameValueCollect ion);
}
catch (System.Net.Web Exception ex)
{
// I'm excpecting 401 error (SC_UNAUTHORIZE D) or similiar errors
// I want to recieve the error code rather then :
// "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."

}

Any tip very much appreciated !

genc_ ymeri,
Did you look at the properties of WebException?

Such as WebException.St atus?

Also WebException has a Response property that will return the WebResponse
object from the actual request/response. WebException.Re sponse can be cast
to the specific type of request being made (such as HttpWebResponse or
FileWebResponse ) which provides further properties & details on the problem,
such as HttpWebResponse .StatusCode & HttpWebResponse .StatusDescript ion.

Hope this helps
Jay
