WebClient doesn't exist on Windows Phone 8.1? Downloading html of site

Question

I want to get source code of some website.

I found this solution:

var html = System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString(siteUrl);

But Vi

Answer 1

This is what I currently use to download HTML source from webpages:

public static async Task DownloadPageAsync(string pageURL)
    {
        using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
        using (HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(page))
        using (HttpContent content = response.Content)
        {
            string result = await content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            return result;
        }
    }

This function will return downloaded html of pageURL.
