check if url exists

tom
Hello,

I need to maintain a database with links to different
websites. What I would like to do is write an application
that periodically checks on dead links.

I remember from my VB6 days that I have used the XMLHTTP
object to post to .asp pages from within a windows app and
you could then check the response code.

My question is if anyone has any ideas what the best way
is to do this in .NET?

thanx,
T
