hello, that would be cool.

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'll take a look.

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.

Any pointers on where to get started? I'm totally lost here.
