Property Value

The value of the Accept HTTP header. The default value is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

To clear the Accept HTTP header, set the Accept property to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

NoteNote

The value for this property is stored in WebHeaderCollection. If WebHeaderCollection is set, the property value is lost.

The following code example sets the Accept property.

Visual Basic
' Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
Dim myHttpWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(myUri)
' Set the 'Accept' property to accept an image of any type.
myHttpWebRequest.Accept = "image/*"
' The response object of 'HttpWebRequest' is assigned to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
Dim myHttpWebResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType(myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
C#
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);
// Set the 'Accept' property to accept an image of any type.
myHttpWebRequest.Accept="image/*";
// The response object of 'HttpWebRequest' is assigned to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=(HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
C++
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
HttpWebRequest^ myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest^)( WebRequest::Create( myUri ) );
// Set the 'Accept' property to accept an image of any type.
myHttpWebRequest->Accept = "image/*";
// The response object of 'HttpWebRequest' is assigned to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
HttpWebResponse^ myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse^)( myHttpWebRequest->GetResponse() );
J#
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)
    (WebRequest.Create(myUri));
// Set the 'Accept' property to accept an image of any type.
myHttpWebRequest.set_Accept("image/*");
// The response object of 'HttpWebRequest' is assigned to a
//'HttpWebResponse' variable.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)
    (myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse());
