[RESOLVED] WebException : Remote Name could not be resolved Error

[Torc]

I am trying to read in a Web Page, using the code below.

However it keeps failing when it runs the line s = client.OpenRead(remoteUri)

The error I am getting is

The remote name could not be resolved: http://msdn.microsoft.com'

Can anyone offer any suggestions.

        Dim client As New WebClient

        Console.WriteLine("Downloading {0}", remoteUri)

        Try

        r = sr.ReadToEnd()

        '  Perform the download getting the resource as a string.

                Dim downloadedFile As String = grp.Value.Substring(grp.Value.LastIndexOf("/") + 1)

                Try

            Next
        Next

        Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine)
        Console.WriteLine("Main method complete.  Press Enter.")
