This may not be the correct response, your question is kind of vauge. Are
you talking about reading the html of a differnt page or the current page?

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim client As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim str As System.IO.Stream
str = client.OpenRead("http://www.amazon.com")
Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(str)
Dim s As String = reader.ReadToEnd
Response.Write(s)
str.Close()
End Sub
