Asp.Net web service: I would like to return error 403 forbidden

I have got a web service programmed in c# / asp.net.

[WebService(Namespace = \"http://example.com/\")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProf         


        

Answer 1

You don't need to set both Context.Response.Status and Context.Response.StatusCode. Simply setting

Context.Response.StatusCode = (int)System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Forbidden

will automatically set Response.Status for you.
