Generates exception in reverse geocoding using nominatim.

Question

I'm creating asp.net website and using Nominatim for reverse geocoding to find address in simple text format.

My Code:

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
var jsonData = webClient.DownloadData("http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&lat=23.02951&lon=72.48689");
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(RootObject));
var rootObject = ser.ReadObject(new MemoryStream(jsonData));

But got exception that

The remote name could not be resolved: 'nominatim.openstreetmap.org'

Actually I got null response from the page.

Any suggestion there?
