Gets the content type of the response.
public:
virtual property System::String ^ ContentType { System::String ^ get(); };
public override string ContentType { get; }
member this.ContentType : string
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ContentType As String
A string that contains the content type of the response.
The current instance has been disposed.
The following example displays the value of this property.
#using <System.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace System::IO;
// Specify the URL to receive the request.
int main()
{
array<String^>^args = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
HttpWebRequest^ request = dynamic_cast<HttpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create(args[1]));
// Set some reasonable limits on resources used by this request
request->MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 4;
request->MaximumResponseHeadersLength = 4;
// Set credentials to use for this request.
request->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultCredentials;
HttpWebResponse^ response = dynamic_cast<HttpWebResponse^>(request->GetResponse());
Console::WriteLine("Content length is {0}", response->ContentLength);
Console::WriteLine("Content type is {0}", response->ContentType);
// Get the stream associated with the response.
Stream^ receiveStream = response->GetResponseStream();
// Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format.
StreamReader^ readStream = gcnew StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding::UTF8);
Console::WriteLine("Response stream received.");
Console::WriteLine(readStream->ReadToEnd());
response->Close();
readStream->Close();
}
