You can use the System.Net.WebClient class.

Code:

---

using System.Net;
using System.IO;

// ...

// create a new WebClient
WebClient client = new WebClient();

// create a stream which contains the source of the address passed.
Stream webStream = client.OpenRead(@"http://www.google.com");
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(webStream);
// read the entire stream
string value = reader.ReadToEnd();
// show the source
MessageBox.Show(value);
// clean up
webStream.Close();
reader.Close();
