I have a VB6 program that opens my yahoo email page, parses it looking for the link the my inbox and reads the number of unread messages. It then flashes an icon in the system tray if I have new emails.

I'd like to re-write this in .NET as an exercise but I'm stuck at the first hurdle - how can I open and interrogate the web page?
 
Ignore me! I would delete the post but I can't. The solution was:

Visual Basic: 
Dim MyRequst As Net.WebRequest = Net.WebRequest.Create("mail.yahoo.com")
Dim MyResponse As Net.WebResponse = MyRequst.GetResponse
