Got To Webpage without using webbrowser control?
If so, how would i read / get the html of this page? I can do this now with a webbrowser control, but just looking for a quicker way.

I've seen this online below.

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Module Module1
Sub Main()
'Address of URL
Dim URL As String = http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/default.asp
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL)
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())Dim str As String = reader.ReadLine()
o While str.Length > 0
Console.WriteLine(str)
str = reader.ReadLine()
Loop
End Sub
End Module


However, if the site requires you to log in first, can you then do a webrequest call, and have it use he webbrowsers controls cache to see that you've already logged in, and not request you to log in?
Hope this makes sense.
