title: Reading data from a website using C#
body: <p>I have a webpage which has nothing on it except some string(s). No images, no background color or anything, just some plain text which is not really that long in length.</p>
  
  <p>I am just wondering, what is the best (by that, I mean fastest and most efficient) way to pass the string in the webpage so that I can use it for something else (e.g. display in a text box)? I know of WebClient, but I'm not sure if it'll do what I want it do and plus I don't want to even try that out even if it did work because the last time I did it took approximately 30 seconds for a simple operation.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas would be appreciated.</p>
