VB.NET Help - Replacement For Inet control

Rob
Hi, My name is Rob

I have been trying to use the System.Net.Webclient function without
success. In VB6 to get the latest version I simple did this:

if Inet.OpenUrl("http://somesite.com/update.php") =(My Application
Version) then
Main.show
else
'Out of date
end if

But now I cant do this. If you get my jist then im trying to say I cant
get data straight from a webpage to values. I do not want to download a
text file or anything else.

Thanks I would apreciate it so much if someone helped me, Rob
