You'll need to create a web request and make a request out to the internet to fetch the website. This is done by calling GetResponse() which returns a WebResponse object which you will cast into an HttpWebResponse and then call GetResponseStream() on. The result of GetResponseStream() will be a stream object which you can then use to instantiate a StreamReader and read the text. To write the text out to a file call File.WriteAllText. Here's an example: static void WriteSourceToFile( string url string filename) { WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest .Create(url); HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse )request.GetResponse(); Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (responseStream); string documentText = reader.ReadToEnd(); reader.Close(); File .WriteAllText(filename documentText); }
