You could simply create a variable of type WebClient and get it to download the contents

 

The following will download this thread in to a string

Dim b() As Byte

Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient
b = wc.DownloadData("http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?t=87115")

Dim s As String = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(b)
