I need to open up Internet Explorer with an URL and then read the source code of the document in C#.

Is this possible?

I know you can start processes but how can i navigate to an URL and get the source code?
I have to open it via IE, because the protocol im using to retrieve the page only works in IE.

Thanks!

    Depending on your requirements there are different techniques:

    • Process.Start("iexplore.exe", "http://www.google.com"); to run IE and then a WebCilent.DownloadString to download the HTML source (2 HTTP requests sent to the server)
    • Use the WebBrowser control which allows you to embed IE in a desktop application. It also allows you to retrieve the HTML source code of the webpage to which it navigated.
