Sorry to double post....I posted in the wrong section...got no replies

Hi,

I am having a %$#* of a time trying to find a way to retrieve
historical stock price data from Yahoo with VB.NET.

It was quite easy in VB6 using the INET control to contact the
Yahoo data server and store the resulting .csv file in a variant to
be parsed (split) later.

=================
Dim myURLString as string
Dim MyResponse as variant

Constuct the url to request the data
myURLString = "HTTP:finance.chart.yahoo/.....symbol=CSCO...and so on.."

myResponse = Inet1.OpenURL(myURLString)

This would fill "myResponse" with months of historical price data :-)
=================

Does anyone know a VB.NET technique for the same process. ?
(Or perhaps direct me to a site where some examples may be)

Thanks
