You can do it by many way. With WebClient

 WebClient Client = new WebClient ();
 Client.DownloadFile("http://www.stackoverflow.com/myfile.html", "myfile.html");

Or you can put the data in a stream to use it in your program:

WebClient Client = new WebClient ();
Stream strm = Client.OpenRead ("http://www.stackoverflow.com/myfile.htm");

But I do prefer use HttpWebRequest:

HttpWebRequest objRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.stackoverflow.com/myfile.html");
StreamWriter myWriter = new StreamWriter(objRequest.GetRequestStream());

I prefer the second one because you can have more option for POST/GET or for Cookie.
