Re: 500 error while GetResponse()

Thanks Pooja,

You should be able to get more information about the error from the
WebException thrown. Here's a handy function I wrote to get the details:

public static string GetWebException(WebException ex)
{
try
{
StringBuilder sb = new
StringBuilder(ex.Response.ResponseUri.ToString());
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine + "Status: " + ex.Status.ToString());
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine + "Message: " + ex.Message);
if (ex.InnerException != null)
{
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine +
ex.InnerException.GetType().ToString());
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine +
ex.InnerException.Message);
}
return sb.ToString();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Utilities.HandleError(e, false, "Error Getting WebException: " +
Environment.NewLine + ex.Message);
return "Error Getting WebException";
}
}

You would of course need to handle any Exception thrown by this method with
your own exception handler, rather than the one I used, which is one I
wrote. The one I wrote logs the Exception message to the Event Log, and
optionally rethrows it, as well as adding any string you want to append to
it.
