I want to get source code of some website.
I found this solution:
var html = System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString(siteUrl);
But Vi
WebClient is available for Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 apps. Windows Phone Runtime apps use Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient.
There is also a Portable HttpClient for .NET Framework and Windows Phone.
This is what I currently use to download HTML source from webpages:
public static async Task<string> 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.
WebClient does exist in WP8 like this:
WebClient thisclient = new WebClient();
thisclent.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("urihere");
thisclient.DownloadStringCompleted += (s, x) =>
{
if (x.Error != null)
{
//Catch any errors
}
//Run Code
}
For 8.1 apps, use something like this:
HttpClient http = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await http.GetAsync("somesite");
webresponse = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
