Hello all,

Im using this line to get my program to check online for the latest version of my software.

Dim strLatestVer As String = New System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString("xxx://my.server/latest.version")

The file 'latest.version' is just a textfile with the text "1.x.x.x".

No the problem is, if the url is unavaible or there is no internet connection on the computer running the program, it dies.

So im trying to figure out a way to just make the program skip this if it cant reach the url.

Any ideas?

this might be a hackish sort of way but if its throwing an exception you could just use exception handling
