How to get webpage title without downloading all the page source

Question

I\'m looking for a method that will allow me to get the title of a webpage and store it as a string.

However all the solutions I have found so far involve downloadin

Answer 1

A simpler way to handle this would be to download it, then split:

    using System;
    using System.Net.Http;

    private async void getSite(string url)
    {
        HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();
        HttpResponseMessage response = await hc.GetAsync(new Uri(url, UriKind.Absolute));
        string source = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

        //process the source here

    }

To process the source, you can use the method described here in the article on Getting Content From Between HTML Tags
