Testing out Code Formatting
Posted in: Programming by Steve on February 29, 2008
Thanks to RossCode for recommending this plugin for Windows Live Writer, “Insert Code for WLW“
Too bad I don’t have a wider blog theme, but I really like this one. Testing out the VB functionality since I don’t really see VB examples that often:
1: ''' <summary>
2: ''' This method checks to see if the given URL is available and accepting requests.
3: ''' </summary>
4: ''' <param name="url"></param>
5: ''' <returns></returns>
6: ''' <remarks></remarks>
7: Public Function IsUrlAvailable(ByVal url As String) As Boolean
8: Try
9: Dim req As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url)
10: Dim rsp As HttpWebResponse = req.GetResponse()
11: If rsp.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK Then
12: Return True
13: End If
14: Catch ex As WebException
15: ' Eat it because all we want to do is return false
16: End Try
17: Return False
18: End Function
