Get status code with HttpClient

[nbrege]

I am using the following code to get a string from a server:

Dim handler = New HttpClientHandler With {.UseCookies = False}
Dim http As New HttpClient(handler)
Dim url1 As String = "SomeUrlString"

http.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear()
http.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", useragent)
http.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Cookie", "mac=" & myMac)

Try

    result = http.GetStringAsync(url1).Result

Catch ex As Exception
    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString)
End Try

I would like to be able to get the status code that is returned by the server. ie. 200, 404, etc., but I can't figure out how to do it.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks...
