Check for content on a web page?

me
Hi all,

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to do the following in VB.NET?

Basically, I want a procedure that will take a web URL and a string as
parameters, e.g. www.microsoft.com and 'Bill Gates'

I want the procedure to pull that page from the web, check for the existence
of 'Bill Gates' and return either true or false depending on whether or not
the string can be found.

Help appreciated :)

Try finding one with ".dotnet." in its name for best results.

Yeah, Microsoft did it's damnedest to confuse the entire market with that
