[Resolved] Getting info from the web

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if there is a way to get some info from the internet without downloading a file.

IE, If I can ever get this version checker to work, I'm going to need it to know what version I'm on so it'll ask the web site. I only know how to do this with downloading files. Is there a way to request that information from the server?

Thanks,

Mike

VB Code:

Dim Inet As New Net.WebClient
        Dim SR As New IO.StreamReader(Inet.OpenRead("http://vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=398154"))
        Debug.Print(SR.ReadToEnd)

This reads this exact topic :)

That opens the file to read, and reads it, right? The way I currently do my version checkers is to just read a text file that I just manually edit with the version number inside of it. The total file is only about 3-4 bytes, so its quick and snappy to download. I didn't look to hard for what you were wanting, because I had already implemented that, but when doing a quick search a while back, I didn't find much. So I guess what I am saying is I would also like to know :)

Hey,

When I plug that in it gives me an error saying that pring is not a member of system.diagnositcs.debug or something like that :-/

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

[Edit]

I don't really need the print thing, I can use it fine just comparing some values, just wanted to share that with you.

Also, I forgot to say... THANKS! WORKS GREAT :-D
