January 25 Passing foreign charachters in a URLIf you are calling a URL, and need to pass a foreign charachter in the url (say í), you may find that the remote server doesn't understand what you have sent. This is a trick I found to encode it properly
System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode(result).Replace("u00","");
January 10 Getting more out of your 500 Internal Server ErrorWhen you make a request from .NET to a remote page, and that page crashes with a 500 error. the exception thrown doesn't normally tell you anything more than a 500 server error has occurred. You can get the exact html from the page using this:
try { httpresponse = (HttpWebResponse)httprequest.GetResponse(); } catch(Exception e){ if(e is WebException){ WebException wexError = (WebException)e; if(wexError.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError){ WebResponse wrError = wexError.Response; Stream stmError = wrError.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader srError= new StreamReader(stmError); string strError = srError.ReadToEnd();System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(strError); throw(e);} } }
This really helped me!
