OK, that's more than I knew 10 minutes ago but where to start? I'm looking for functionality similar to Excel's where I could connect to a URL from within my app and grab data for use in the app.
Thanks, ThatRickGuy, that link looks useful, and it's nice of you to lead me so gently in the right direction.
Yeah, sorry, I just think more people should try to work for their information. For the record, the vast majority of replies I make here, I had no clue about until reading the post. So I google the problem, throw together some code in a test project if needed, and find out how it works.
So, the general principle is to connect to the URL, stream the data, parse it, use it?
Correct. I haven't writen anything in .Net that pulls from the web (successfully at least). But that was the method I used in VB6.
