Answer 1

If you are using .Net 4.5,

public async void Downloader()
{
    using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        string page = await wc.DownloadStringTaskAsync("http://chatroll.com/rotternet");
    }
}

For 3.5 or 4.0

public void Downloader()
{
    using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        wc.DownloadStringCompleted += (s, e) =>
        {
            string page = e.Result;
        };
        wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://chatroll.com/rotternet"));
    }
}
