VB.NET counterpart to the java URL Class

[samadams_2006]

Hello,

I'm interesting in finding out the VB.NET alternative to the URL Class.
For example, in Java you can have the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

URL url = new URL("http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AOL");

InputStream abc = url.openStream();

BufferedInputStream bufIn = new BufferedInputStream(abc);

Hi,

See System.Net.WebClient (or related classes if you need lower level)
