run/call a page remotely

Question

I want to run a remote page, I don’t care what this page does, I just need to run it and wait for it to load 100% to run another, and so on.

I don’t need to recover any information from that page.

It can be in Windows.Form, Console App. with any component, etc. I tried with Xmldocument, Restsharp and nothing.

Today the only way I could was with webbrowser, but I made manual buttons, I could not make him understand when the page is 100% loaded.

Answer 1

You can use the class WebClient: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient.aspx

using(var wc = new WebClient())
{
    wc.OpenRead("urlAqui");
    // ou
    // wc.DownloadString("urlAqui");
}

This class has several useful methods to explore, take a look at the link.

Answer 2

Thank you very much.

So that’s the code to read the page as I needed it:

He reads the page, I need to test with a large page that takes around 2min, to be executed.

  string url = "http://www.url.com.br";
            using (var wc = new WebClient())
            {
                Stream data = wc.OpenRead(url);
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);
                string s = reader.ReadToEnd();

                textBox1.Text = s;
            }
