The goal is to read the html code of the target webpage.

First effort goes like this:

using (var client = new HttpClient())

This runs into error stating “The type or namespace name HttpClient could not be found (are you missing a reference)?”

So I modify it to:

var client = System.Net.Http();

Which gives the error stating “System.Net.Http is a namespace but is used like a type.”

I know C++ but am new to C#.

All help would be greatly appreciated.
