C# web request method with url and process the stream -

how use web request method?:

        try         {             var request = webrequest.create(uri);             using (var response = request.getresponse())             {                 using (var responsestream = response.getresponsestream())                 {                     // process stream                 }             }         }         catch (webexception ex)         {             if (ex.status == webexceptionstatus.protocolerror &&                 ex.response != null)             {                 var resp = (httpwebresponse)ex.response;                 if (resp.statuscode == httpstatuscode.notfound)                 {                     //                 }                 else                 {                     // else                 }             }             else             {                 // else             }         }     } 

i found above code on website , i'm not sure process stream means or put url :ex: http://www.google.com prefer use code instead can't else statements work it, , need.

        httpwebrequest request = (httpwebrequest)webrequest.create(string.format("url", hashe));         try         {             httpwebresponse response = (httpwebresponse)request.getresponse();         }         catch (exception ex)         {             if (ex.tostring().contains("404"))             {              }         } 

you replace uri address, or create string variable named uri , provide address.

eg.

string uri = "http://www.google.se" 

but, better off using webclient.

webclient client = new webclient (); string reply = client.downloadstring ("http://www.google.se");
