WebClient Class

Hi,

I have a .net windows application and I need to open a web page (asp page), the page only returns one word at the top left of the page. I need to read the one word it returns within my windows applicaiton code. I understand that I can use the webclient class but do not know which method to use to return the text on the web page.

Thanks for any help,

Chris

if the page only displays a small amount of content and your sure it's not likely to change radically you could use a screen scrape and parse the HTML .

OK this is in C# (and it's a bit of hack) but it's what i had handy in my clipboard and you get the idea...

PHP Code:

---


WebRequest myRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://<some address here>");
        
WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();

            

System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(myResponse.GetResponseStream(),System.Text.Encoding.ASCII,true);

//Just to display - parse the stream where you know your content will appear
MessageBox.Show(sr.ReadToEnd().ToString());

myResponse.Close();
