This is a duplicate thread.

Basically, the client is responsible for catching the exception and displaying a message.  

Declaring st as var or HttpResponseMessage is irrelevant.  The var type is implicitly determined by the compiler.

Hi Guhananth,

If you'd like to catch the exception and display "server is not responding" message in your application, please use try-catch statement with your code logic.

If you want to display specific message when the service is unavailable, you can check the response status code like below.

if (st.StatusCode== HttpStatusCode.ServiceUnavailable)
{
    //code logic here
}

Besides, please do not post similar/same questions in multi threads. Thanks for your understanding.

With Regards,
