| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |

The HttpVersion class defines the HTTP versions that are supported by the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes. The HTTP version number is used to control version-specific features of HTTP, such as pipelining and chunking.
The following example demonstrates the use of HttpVersion.
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object. HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com"); Console.WriteLine("\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol before assignment is :{0}",myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion); // Assign Version10 to ProtocolVersion. myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion=HttpVersion.Version10; // Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable. HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=(HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(); Console.WriteLine("\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol after assignment is :{0}",myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion); Console.WriteLine("\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the response object is :{0}",myHttpWebResponse.ProtocolVersion);
