How to Harvest the HTML Response from a Server?

[Brad]

This seems so elementary and obvious that it escapes my notice!

I'm just trying to post a simple query string with parameters (e.g.,
www.google.com?key1=value1&key2=value2) and harvest the response from the
server without using an .aspx page. How do you do that in ASP.NET?

This seems so simple it's embarassing to even ask. Thanks in advance for
any help!

Never mind. I think I found what I'm looking for. I remembered that screen
scraping examples do the same thing, so I looked it up. Here's a simple
example: http://www.csharpfriends.com/Articles/getTip.aspx?articleID=210.

If anyone has more or better to offer, I'd appreciate it immensely.
Thanks!!

You can also use the WebClient control (System.Net.WebClient). Add it
to your toolbox. Or perhaps you can use the HttpWebRequest class and
call the GetResponse() method.

Thanks, KJ!

I'm gonna look into the WebClient control right now. I'm open to as many
methods I can learn

Thanks again!
