Calling webpage in backround

[Tom]

I'm looking for a way to call a web page (including passing "post"
parameters) in the background as part of a Web Service function.
The general idea is that the Web Service will perform a task and as part of
that task it needs to run an external webpage (in this case written in PHP).

In PHP itself there is a class called CURL which allows for this. I cannot
for the life of me find a .NET equivalent.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Of course, 5 minutes after I post my question I find the answer. ;-)
It's the System.Net.WebClient class.
