How to Validate Web Service URL in ASP.Net

Question

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…

 
System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
lObjPing = new System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping();

                   
System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply
lObjPingReply = null;

 

                   
lObjPingReply = lObjPing.Send(URL);

 

Please help out.

Thanks
