Come on, now. This was documentation on the WebException.Response property
of the WebException class. The code in it was an example of how to use the
WebException.Response property. It had legitimate code for getting a
Response from an HttpWebRequest, but using an invalid URL, in order to get
the WebException. The introductory text before the example read:
Remarks
Some Internet protocols, such as HTTP, return otherwise valid responses
indicating that an error has occurred at the protocol level. When the
response to an Internet request indicates an error, WebRequest.GetResponse
sets the Status property to WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError and provides
the WebResponse containing the error message in the Response property of the
WebException that was thrown. The application can examine the WebResponse to
determine the actual error.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example checks the Status property and
prints to the console the StatusCode and StatusDescription of the underlying
HttpWebResponse instance.
You were supposed to read the code, read the documentation, derive the
correct code for getting a Response from an HttpWebRequest, note the
location in the .Net Framework class library documentation for future use,
and adapt the code to your needs.
For future use, the documentation for the entire CLR class library is in
that reference, and it should be very useful to you when this sort of
situation arises.
