Hi!!

I have some code that get the contant of a site and display it...
its a windows form application....

but its too slow ( BTW: my internet connection isnt slow ;) )

here is my code:

Code:
			textBox1.Text = String.Empty;

			WebClient currentWebClient = new WebClient();

			string strURL = _txtSiteUrl.Text.Trim();

			byte[] aRequestedHTML;

			aRequestedHTML = currentWebClient.DownloadData( strURL );

			UTF8Encoding currentUTF8Encoding = new UTF8Encoding();

			string strRequestedHTML;

			strRequestedHTML = currentUTF8Encoding.GetString( aRequestedHTML );

			textBox1.Text = strRequestedHTML;


the code problem is this part:

Code:
aRequestedHTML = currentWebClient.DownloadData( strURL );


What can I do to get a better performance?




Kind Regards,

gicio
 
Does it take longer to download the page in code than it does to open in a web browser? Just because your connection is fast doesnt mean the site you are downloading from is (or the links in between are either).
Roughly home much data are you downloading and how long is it taking?
