How I can get the content of the web page using ASP.NET? I need to write a program to get the HTML of a webpage and store it into a string variable.

I've run into issues with Webclient.Downloadstring before. If you do, you can try this:

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com");
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream data = response.GetResponseStream();
string html = String.Empty;
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(data))
{
    html = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
