C# .NET - an exception occurred during a webclient request

           string webAddress = @"http://test-web-site/nbf/";

            WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
            webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            WebRequest serverRequest = WebRequest.Create(webAddress);
            WebResponse serverResponse;
            serverResponse = serverRequest.GetResponse();
            serverResponse.Close();

            webClient.UploadFile(webAddress, "PUT", savefilename);
            webClient.Dispose();
            webClient = null;


this code generate Exception: "an exception occurred during a webclient request "

You have to wrap any code that might generate an exception in a try / catch / finally block if you want to become a professional. In the catch block, you can place a breakpoint and examine the exception and its properties. In particular, every exception instance has an InnerException which often holds more specific details.

You are attempting a PUT verb and it is possible that that webserver where you want to upload the file is not enabled for WEBDAV and denies a PUT. The default method for UploadFile is "POST".

Hi manish

Try
{
  string webAddress = @"http://test-web-site/nbf/";

        WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
        webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

        WebRequest serverRequest = WebRequest.Create(webAddress);
        WebResponse serverResponse;
        serverResponse = serverRequest.GetResponse();
        serverResponse.Close();

        webClient.UploadFile(webAddress, "PUT", savefilename);
        webClient.Dispose();
        webClient = null;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}

Thanks
