Get Webpage Source Code

[Mike]

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to better analyze the meta tags on my website. I
would like to get the source code and then parse the code for the meta tags,
links, etc.

Can someone give me an example of how to read the source code of a webpage
from VB.net?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure I understood yoiu correctly, but maybe something in the
lines of

<aircode>
Dim Web As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim Ok As Boolean
Try
Web.DownloadFile(RemotePage, LocalFileName)
Ok = True
Catch Ex As Exception
MsgBox(Ex.Message)
End Try
</aircode>

HTH.

Regards,

Branco.

If the file read is in XHTML format, you can use the classes contained in
the 'System.Xml' namespace for reading information from the file.
