    HttpWebResponse implements IDisposable interface explicitly. So you can call Dispose only when you cast HttpWebResponse to IDisposable. The Close method of HttpWebResponse calls Dispose internally.

    HttpWebResponse response = // assigned from somewhere
    IDisposable disposableResponse = response as IDisposable;
    
    disposableResponse.Dispose();
    

    Since HttpWebResponse implements IDisposable you can use it with an using-statement.

    HttpWebResponse response = // assigned from somewhere
    
    using(response) {
      // do your work;
    }
