How to get the HTML code from a website, save it, and find some text by a LINQ expression?
I'm using the following code to get the source of a web page:
public static String code(string Url)
{
HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Url);
myRequest.Method = "GET";
WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(myResponse.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
string result = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
myResponse.Close();
return result;
}
How do I find the text in a div in the source of the web page?

Better you can use the Webclient class to simplify your task:
using System.Net;
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
string htmlCode = client.DownloadString("http://somesite.com/default.html");
}
