I am trying to get the HTTP status code number from the HttpWebResponse object returned from a HttpWebRequest. I was hoping to get the actual numbers (200, 301,302, 404, etc.) rather than the text description. ("Ok", "MovedPermanently", etc.) Is the number buried in a property somewhere in the response object? Any ideas other than creating a big switch function? Thanks.
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.gooogle.com/");
webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
//Returns "MovedPermanently", not 301 which is what I want.
Console.Write(response.StatusCode.ToString());
