Question

it is possible to do a request for another page on internet from page_load? I mean if it is possible to aquire markup code with informations from another page and display them on my aspx site? For example something like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  UnknownType anotherSite = GetMarkupCode("www.fifa.com");
  //parse anotherSite
             .
             .
             .
  //display parsed informations
             .
             .
             .
}

If it is possible how can i do that? Many thanks for answers.

User can use the WebClient class.

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
Stream data = webClient.OpenRead("http://www.fifa.com");
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(data);
string html = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

EDIT: A simpler version thanks to Lucas

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
string html = webClient.DownloadString("http://www.fifa.com");
