Question

How can I hit a link such as http://somewhere.com/client.php?locationID=1
and return the value of the location id from a C# windows forms application?

Trying to get an HTTPGetRequest from a C# Windows Forms Application.

Not sure where to start or how this would be done.

try this:

       HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(@"http://somewhere.com/client.php?locationID=1");
       HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
       string content = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
