catch ( WebException^ e ) 
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This program is expected to throw WebException on successful run." +
      "\n\nException Message : " + e->Message );
   if ( e->Status == WebExceptionStatus::ProtocolError )

      Console::WriteLine( "Status Description: {0}", ( (HttpWebResponse^)(e->Response) )->StatusDescription );
   }
}
catch ( Exception^ e ) 
{
   Console::WriteLine( e->Message );
}

try {
   // Create a web request for an invalid site. Substitute the "invalid site" strong in the Create call with a invalid name.
     HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("invalid site");

    // Get the associated response for the above request.
     HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
    myHttpWebResponse.Close();
}
catch(WebException e) {
    Console.WriteLine("This program is expected to throw WebException on successful run."+
                        "\n\nException Message :" + e.Message);
    if(e.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError) {
        Console.WriteLine("Status Code : {0}", ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusCode);
