Read HTML into string from URL

[Jesper]

Hi,

I would like to read the html into a string from a certain URL. How is this
done?

Best regards Jesper.

Jesper,

Take a look at the documentation of the WebClient class, it contains this
code in the DownloadData(string) method

Console.Write("\nPlease enter a URI (for example, http://www.contoso.com):
");
string remoteUri = Console.ReadLine();

// Create a new WebClient instance.
WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();
// Download home page data.
Console.WriteLine("Downloading " + remoteUri);
// Download the Web resource and save it into a data buffer.
byte[] myDataBuffer = myWebClient.DownloadData (remoteUri);

// Display the downloaded data.
string download = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myDataBuffer);
Console.WriteLine(download);

Console.WriteLine("Download successful.");
You need to add a using statement for System.Net for this.
