Use the WebClient class

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient(v=vs.100).aspx

Or HttpWebRequest

@ Mohsinkhan

welcome to forums.asp.net

Mohsinkhan, for me, it is unclear what you wish to do ... please clarify.

(a) is it for ANY webpage that you wish to download "source code"?

(b) by "source code", do you mean the HTML that one sees when one views source in a browser?

or, do you mean the c# source code that was used to generate the HTML?

It would be easier for your peers here at forums.asp.net to help you if you shared your relevant code snippets.

g.

P.S.: if you mean the code used to generate the HTML, then you can not get such code through a standard request; to access such code, you would require appropriate permissions from the website's owner on the server and would need to use a technology such as remote desktop, vpn, FTP, ...

Show us the code that returns the error. It is very hard to debug code if you cannot see it.

Got a c# problem? Try .NET Book Zero from Charles Petzold, it's a free pdf.

public void acc()
    {
        WebClient client = new WebClient();
        string reply = client.DownloadString("http://www.google.com/");
        HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmlDocument = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
        htmlDocument.LoadHtml(reply );
     //   string articleTitle = htmlDocument.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("/div");
        Response.Write(reply);

    }

@ Mohsinkhan

here's an example from the http://www.dotnetperls.com/webclient link:

// Create web client.
	System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient();

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

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

output:

--- WebClient result ---
