HttpResponse.SubStatusCode Property

Gets or sets a value qualifying the status code of the response.

Namespace:  System.Web
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

'Declaration
Public Property SubStatusCode As Integer

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
An integer value that represents the IIS 7.0 substatus code.

ExceptionCondition
PlatformNotSupportedException

The operation requires the integrated pipeline mode in IIS 7.0 and at least the .NET Framework version 3.0.

HttpException

The status code is set after all HTTP headers have been sent.

The SubStatusCode property is only supported with the integrated pipeline mode in IIS 7.0 and at least the .NET Framework version 3.0. When you set the SubStatusCode property, the status is logged on IIS 7.0 if failed-request tracing is configured. Independent of whether tracing is configured, the code is never sent as part of the final response to the request. For more information, see Troubleshooting Failed Requests Using Failed Request Tracing in IIS 7.0.

The following example sets the SubStatusCode property in an event handler for the HttpApplication instance of the PostAuthenticateRequest event. Put the code file in the App_Code folder of your Web application and configure the Web.config file to register the module. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating and Registering a Custom HTTP Module.
