Web Clients and Web Requests

For your WWW systems, you will need to set up a Web client, as well as a procedure for making Web requests and getting responses. The following examples demonstrate a Web client and Web request procedure.

Code Example: WebClient

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

namespace Client.Chapter_14___Networking_and_WWW_Connections
{
          class MyWebClient
          {
                [STAThread]
                static void Main(string[] args)
                {
                       WebClient MyClient = new WebClient();
                      Stream MyStream = MyClient.OpenRead("http://www.MyWeb.com");
                       StreamReader MyReader = new StreamReader(MyStream);
                       Console.WriteLine(MyReader.ReadLine());
                       MyStream.Close();
                }
          }
}

Code Example: Web Request


using System;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;

namespace Client.Chapter_14___Networking_and_WWW_Connections
{
          class Class1
          {
                [STAThread]
                static void Main(string[] args)
                {
                       WebRequest MyRequest =
                         WebRequest.Create("http://www.MyWeb.com");
                       WebResponse MyResponse = MyRequest.GetResponse();
                       Stream MyStream = MyResponse.GetResponseStream();
                       StreamReader MyReader = new StreamReader(MyStream);
                       string MyWebLine;
                       while ((MyWebLine = MyReader.ReadLine()) != null)
                       {
                              Console.WriteLine(MyWebLine);
                       }
                       MyStream.Close();
                }
          }
}
