any ideas for grabbing data via http?
i'm helping work on a program that repeatedly grabs data from various websites. right now we're at basics, using internet explorer to transmit the webpage code to get the data. but the thing with it is, sometimes it grabs an old cache so the data can, and often times is wrong.
anyone have an idea how to do this another way that'll work more effectively?
Re: any ideas for grabbing data via http?
You can use the WebClient class for simple HTTP operations or the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes if you need more fine-grained control. You can also use them together in .NET 4.0.
