I have no clue what you mean by "read a true or false statement and then check the statement". If you're looking to download the HTML of a website, use the WebClient:

Dim Html As String
Using client As New System.Net.WebClient
    Html = client.DownloadString("http://www.google.com")
End Using

well here is how i had it set up from what i remember it was a few years ago.
i had

dim websitetext as sting
'connect to the website it reads the site
if websitetext = true then
do something
end if

What do you really mean by "reads the site"?

Well the site set up had no html, it was just a word i set the program to read True or False from the website.

Well if there is no html in the file, only a word (True/False), then download it like i showed you and compare it:

If DownloadedWord = "True" Then
    'Do something
Else
    'Do something else
End If
