WebClient with more control???

[Wespen]

Is there any more convinient way to retrive HTML stream than WebClient.

Since Im on slow connection (56K modem) I often timeout.

Is there any way to retry retriving data ? Like try/catch block ??
Or to extend timeout time??

1 more thing,
With WebClient - do I get only HTML in Response stream or Images and other data too??

Thanks
Igor

Im on a 56k modem and using WebClient to download data works just fine for me, no timeouts.

You can get anything in a response stream, whatever the webserver throws out. This includes binary data.

Can I recive just HTML text, since Im pharsing text I dont need binary data (images etc.) to bog down my bandwith???

If you use the DownloadData method on a web address, it will
download the HTML source into a byte array. It wont (at least, it
shouldnt) send out anything but the HTML.
