Invoking a URL - c#

Question

I m trying to invoke a URL in C#, I am just interested in invoking, and dont care about response. When i have the following, does it mean that I m invoking the URL?

Answer 1

First) Create WebRequest to execute URL.
Second) Use WebResponse to get response.
Finally) Use StreamReader to decode response and convert it to normal string.

string url = "Your request url";
WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string responseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
