I am new to learning WebRequest.This is my code

        WebRequest myRequest;
        myRequest = WebRequest.Create("");
        WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
        Stream responseStream = myResponse.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        string line = "";
        while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
        {
            sb.Append(line);
            sb.Append("\r\n");
        }
        textBox1.Text = sb.ToString();

I am having trouble understanding how to allow the user to enter the URL and click the button and that page shows up.Can some help me understand . Where it says
myRquest = WebRequest.Create(“”); when the user enters the URL in the textbox and clicks the go button that it will go to that web page.

Answer 1

Assume that you have a TextBox on your page (txtUrl) that the user uses to type in the Url. Then you would do something like this

  myRequest = WebRequest.Create(txtUrl.Text);

That passes the url the user entered into the WebRequest.Create() method. However, you’ll need to add some error checking in case the user does not enter a value, or enters a bad url, etc.
