OK... I have been trying my hardest to find someone in a forum on the internet who has vb.net code that fetches html via winsock. I would greatly appreciate ANYONE who could PLEASE convert this work in vb.net. And also a good explanation on how to start it using a buttonclick or formload.

Advance Thanks!

Ryan.

Code:
Public Sub GetURL(strURL As String)
    ' function to fetch a web page
    Dim s As String
    Winsock1.RemoteHost = "p133"'my MS Personal Web Server
    Winsock1.RemotePort = 80
    Winsock1.Connect
End Function


Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
    ' comes here when TCP/IP connection is m
    '     ade
    ' now, send message to connection to get
    '     web page
    Dim strURL String
    Dim strMsg String
    strURL = "http://p133/DEFAULT.HTM"
    strMsg = "GET " + strURL + " HTTP/1.0" + vbCrLf
    strMsg = strMsg + "Accept: */*" + vbCrLf
    strMsg = strMsg + "Accept: text/html" + vbCrLf
    strMsg = strMsg + vbCrLf
    Winsock1.SendData strMsg
End Sub


Private Sub Winsock1_Close()
    ' comes here when remote server closes c
    '     onnection
    Winsock1.Close
End Sub


Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    'comes here multiple times as data start
    '     s to arrive
    Dim rData As String
    Winsock1.GetData rData, vbString
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text + rData
End Sub
