Similar code can also be used to post forms which utilize both the get and post form methods by adding a few extra lines of code. Example: Using HttpWebRequest Object string url = "http://google.com"; string strResult = ""; WebResponse objResponse; WebRequest objRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url); objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse(); using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream())) { strResult = sr.ReadToEnd(); // Close and clean up the StreamReader sr.Close(); } // Display results to a webpage Response.Write(strResult);
