Get Response Text From WebClient Object despite receiving an HTTP 409

[mateobus]

Hey, I am using a web service which is designed to give an HTTP 409 error in some cases. Along with this 409 error, the service sends an XML payload, which I need to be able to read. My problem is that my application is throwing an exception when I tried to fetch the site. Is there a way around this so that I can analyze the reponse xml despite the 409 error. Thanks in advance, here is the code:

Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
        'STEP 1: Create a WebClient instance
        Dim objWebClient As New WebClient()


        'STEP 2: Call the DownloadedData method
        Const strURL As String = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://somesite.com"[/URL]
        Dim aRequestedHTML() As Byte
        Dim strRequestedHTML As String
        Try
            aRequestedHTML = objWebClient.DownloadData(strURL)
            Dim objUTF8 As New UTF8Encoding()
            strRequestedHTML = objUTF8.GetString(aRequestedHTML)
        Catch ex As System.Net.WebException
            'not sure what to do hear to read response...
        End Try
    End Sub
