Hi,
How can I validate web service URL. I have tried with pinging the URL, is it the right way to do so and will it work for all types of web services. I have tried this:

C#

System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping lObjPing = new System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping();
System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply lObjPingReply = null;

lObjPingReply = lObjPing.Send(URL);

Please help out.
Thanks
Sreenath

I tried this

HttpWebRequest lObjReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
HttpWebResponse lObjReponse = (HttpWebResponse)lObjReq.GetResponse();

but it is throwing 401 for every link.

Hi Sreenath,
you can try it.
System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping ping = new System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping();
System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply pingReply = ping.Send("www.google.com");

Console.WriteLine("ping status: {0}", pingReply.Status);
if (pingReply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
{
Console.WriteLine("Address: {0}", pingReply.Address.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("RoundTrip time: {0}", pingReply.RoundtripTime);
Console.WriteLine("Time to live: {0}", pingReply.Options.Ttl);
Console.WriteLine("Don't fragment: {0}", pingReply.Options.DontFragment);
Console.WriteLine("Buffer size: {0}", pingReply.Buffer.Length);
}

also, when ever I am trying to ping web service for example

http://xx.xx.xx.xx/MyService/Service.asmx

but I am getting following error An exception occurred during a Ping request. But while browsing, it shows all the methods.

what will be the error here.

With this I got doubt whether I can use Ping for web servie or URL check.

I have already tried this ping.

C#

this worked for me..

string Http_URL = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(URL);

                    HttpWebRequest lObjReq = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(Http_URL);

                    lObjReq.Timeout = 36000;
                    lObjReq.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

                    if (lObjReq.GetResponse().ContentLength > 0)
                    {
                        Output_Err = "";
                        lStrLog = URL + " is a Valid URL.";
                        return true;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        lStrLog = Output_Err = "Invalid URL or Web Service.";
                        return false;
                    }
