You can use the WebRequest or HttpWebRequest classes to send a request
for a URL to a sever and retrieve the response into your program. This
brings to you the HTML code that is normally served to browsers by the web
server.

The easiest is probably the WebClient class.

If you need a little bit more control then (Http)WebRequest.

HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
string html = (new
StreamReader(wr.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())).ReadToEnd();

where the point is that you can set various properties
on the request.
