Download file from URL to a string
How could I use C# to download the contents of a URL, and store the text in a string, without having to save the file to the hard drive?
Solution 1:
string contents;
using (var wc = new System.Net.WebClient())
contents = wc.DownloadString(url);
Solution 2:
Use a WebClient
var result = string.Empty;
using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
result = webClient.DownloadString("http://some.url");
}
