Assigning a web page value to a textbox

132 100+
Hi there. I'm not sure if this is possible but here goes.

I have an asp.net (c#) page and I want to populate a textbox (or whatever control is most suitable) with the text value returned by another websites query string. The other web site is not a web service in the sense that I can add a web reference to it.

The target web site accepts a call as follows (in the url address box in Internet Explorer):

http://www.website.com?searchValue...

This returns a value in either text or xml format and the details are displayed in Internet Explorer. What I am wondering is whether or not I can invoke this same request from within my asp.net page and assign the value(s) returned to a control?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

M :)

You can use the WebRequest Class to request data from an application to a particular URI, such as a Web page. Check out how to send data using the WebRequest Class
