The WebResponse class is the abstract base class from which protocol-specific response classes are derived. Applications can participate in request and response transactions in a protocol-agnostic manner using instances of the WebResponse class while protocol-specific classes derived from WebResponse carry out the details of the request.
Client applications do not create WebResponse objects directly; they are created by calling the GetResponse method on a WebRequest instance.
Notes to Inheritors: When you inherit from WebResponse, you must override the following members: ContentLength, ContentType, GetResponseStream, ResponseUri, and Headers.The following example creates a WebResponse instance from a WebRequest.
' Initialize the WebRequest. Dim myRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com") ' Return the response. Dim myResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse() ' Code to use the WebResponse goes here. ' Close the response to free resources. myResponse.Close()
// Initialize the WebRequest.
WebRequest myRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com");
// Return the response.
WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
// Code to use the WebResponse goes here.
// Close the response to free resources.
myResponse.Close();
