Solution 2

You can try to catch WebException.

C#

catch (WebException ex)
{
  HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;
  if (resp!= null)
  {
   int httpCode = (int)response.StatusCode;
  }
}

Hope that helps. if it does, mark it as answer/upvote.

Thanks

hi,
i am working on c# desktop application. it doesnt allow me response property of ex at HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;

There is no reason why it won't allow it in desktop application. Check

There must be some other issue in the code. Pleas check or post code snippet you are trying.
