screen scrape question

anyone know if it is better to use WebClient or WebResponse/WebRequest for
screen scraping ? Can anyone recommend any in depth reading material on
this area? Many thanks.

I don't see any specific difference unless you need to have somehow more
control over what is sent along the request. Using WebRequest perhaps gives
you more tools to use for complex scenarios
