hi.
i have searched on msdn for a while, but found nothing...
is a function available in dot net framework which allows me to check if a
entered URL is valid?
can someone post an example in VB.NET?
thanks
Rolf
 
One option is to make a real request to the URL using HttpWebRequest and
HttpWebResponse and check the status.

That would check if the URL can be reached, but it won't tell you if the URL
is syntactically valid.
