load all HTML into string....

[=?Utf-8?B?Um9nZWxpbw==?=]

hey, I want to get the entire contents of an HTML page, and put all the html
code it returns in a string. so that I can parse that string for data,

how would I go about doing this? would I need to use a web browser control ?
any help/advise ? thanks.

Rogelio,

You can use the WebClient class in the System.Net namespace, or, if you
need more control over the request, you can use the
HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse classes.

(Http)WebRequest Create, wrap the resulting Stream in a StreamReader and
use ReadToEnd.
