Hi..
you need to use the Webclient class provided in the System.Net namespace. Use the following code...

using System.Net;
using System;
using System.Text;

public class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
WebClient c = new WebClient();
byte[] d = c.DownloadData("http://www.yahoo.com");
string download = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(d);
Console.WriteLine(download);
Console.Read();
}
}


its downloads and prints the yahoo home page

cheers :)
