[RESOLVED] Web Access - Retrieving Source Code

[olamm2k]

Hi,

How do you retrieve source code for a webpage? In VB6, I could use the Internet Transfer Control and simply type:
Text1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.google.co.uk/")

What's the equivalent in VB2005?

Very easy using the WebClient Class

Dim client As New WebClient()
 
        TextBox1.Text = client.DownloadString("http://www.vbforums.com")
 
        client.Dispose()

Hi,

I didn't have a reference to the Net namespace, originally, so the first line had to be:
Dim client As New Net.WebClient()

Thanks.

Imports System.Net at the top. forgot to mention...
