Tyler: I do it all the time in Vb.net and originally in CSharp dot net. I
just have a class with a method that I call from anyplace in a project passing
the method the url to the page. The Function returns either an error code or
the Webpage in a String Variable. Then I just parse the page using standard
Vb.net built-in functiions and you could do the same in CSharp.
The Class with the Request / Response code is small, and very old, but has
worked for many years now. If I want a Webpage I do something like:
Dim PageContent As String
PageContent = DownloadPage( www.google.com )
If PageContent = "FatelError" Then
Do Error Stuff
Else
ParsePage
End If
There are several methods of downloading a Webpage or other online content
but this method has worked for years without any problems so I just use it.
Converting the code to CSharp should be super easy since it was originally
written in CSharp and I think I just ran it through a converter or we can
convert it manually if you want to use a Dot Net implementation.

I was looking for python, but c# would do too. I'll take a look.

Tylor,
If I have understood your requirement, you want to read data
from some other we page. Is it Right? If so, you can use CURL (libCurl)
library. I have used in PHP. I am usre that it comes in other languages or some
alternative will do. HttpRequest and HttpResponse Classes in .NET will help as
well.

Hello list,
I've seen a few scripts that will connect to a site, (weather for
example), send the zip and somehow parse the weather out of the data returned.
Any pointers on where to get started? I'm totally lost here.
Thanks,
