error report

[leontager]

sometimes my ISP dropps the connection. my program creates a stream of a URL and reports back. I would like it to report seomthing else if it was unable to reach the website.

 

stream = New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead(URL)

 

what should I add?

My guess is that your wc is the Webclient..

 

This is c#,

 

try

{

stream = New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead(URL)

}

catch( Exception )

{

MessageBox.Show("You lost your connection");

}

 

Obviously you don't need to use the messagebox, but can do whatever you wish to do.
