This is dirt simple, Please google your questions before you waste space on daniweb.

The webclient's downloadstring method gets the "HTML Source" of any webpage.

using System;
using System.Net;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create web client.
        WebClient client = new WebClient();

        // Download string.
        string value = client.DownloadString("http://dotnetperls.com/");

        // Write values.
        Console.WriteLine("--- WebClient result ---");
        Console.WriteLine(value.Length);
        Console.WriteLine(value);
    }
}

~~~ Output of the program ~~~
    The program prints the page length in characters.
    The program prints the HTML source for the download.
