Hi All,

i am using System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url) to download html code, but it missed some data.  if i use IE to view page and click  "view source",  all data will be showed.  any idea?

thanks in advance.

 

my code:

Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest
Dim resp As System.Net.WebResponse

req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)
resp = req.GetResponse()

st = resp.GetResponseStream()
sr = New System.IO.StreamReader(st, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
result = sr.ReadToEnd

sr.Close()

st.Close()

 Try calling Flush() on the stream reader before closing it.
