Question

Is there any way to make code still continue even if its getting timeout or 404 error….
HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse case:

here my code:

string argumentTest = textBox1.text.Trim(); 

string[] lines = textBox1.Text.Split(new string[] { "\r\n", "\n" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
string newLine = ((char)13).ToString() + ((char)10).ToString();

 foreach (string vr in lines)
{
  string sourceCode = getSourceCode(vr);
  if (sourceCode != null)
  {
    //if this code is up
  } else {
    //if this code is down
  }

}

public static string getSourceCode(string url)
        {
            HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
            req.ContentType = "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15";
            //ERROR in here 404 or timeout
            HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream()); 
            string sourceCode = sr.ReadToEnd();
            sr.Close();
            resp.Close();
            return sourceCode;
        }

You can handle the exception using try-catch block, If you have to clean up any resources allocated you can use finally block which will be exectuted in both cases.

public static string getSourceCode(string url)
{
       string sourceCode = string.Empty;
       try
       { 
        HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        req.ContentType = "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15";
        //ERROR in here 404 or timeout
        HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream()); 
        sourceCode = sr.ReadToEnd();
        sr.Close();
        resp.Close();

      }
      catch(Exception ex){}
      return sourceCode;
}
