Silverlight - Check Website

Question

Hello,

How do I check to see if a website exists at a URL in Silverilght? I basically want to ping a web page. However, the WebClient does not seem to work for me. Is there a way to check HTTP response codes in Silverlight? What does the code look like to ping a web site?

Thank you

Check out URL Access Restrictions in Silverlight, and here's an example for Using WebClient and HttpRequest.
