Reading extended file attributes and properties

[Paul Hale]

Hi,

I have a c# application that I would like to read in a “somewebsite. url�
file and extract the “Web document URL:� property for use in my app.
Can anybody give me any pointers on how this can be done please?

(If I crack it myself I will post the answer back here)

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you want, you can read a file with StreamReader, then you
can use a WebRequest to get that url.

What is exactly your problem?

Hi Paul,

Just wanted to check and see how things are going.

MVP Ignacio's suggestion is the general convention in such scenarios, you
can use the HttpWebRequest class to retrieve the content from a webpage.
The following atricles introduce the usage of the HttpWebRequest class:

If there is anything unclear, please let me know. It's my pleasure to be of
assistance.

Thanks!

Best regards,
