Invoking a URL - c#

Question

I m trying to invoke a URL in C#, I am just interested in invoking, and dont care about response. When i have the following, does it mean that I m invoking the URL?

Answer 1

Probably not. See: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webservices/HttpWebRequest_Response.aspx

You're allowed to set the Method, ContentType, etc., all which would have to be done before the request is actually sent. It looks like GetResponse() actually sends the request. You can simply ignore the return value.
