Hello Lily,

what do u wanna do?!
Get data or just browsing?!

For browsing use webbrowse control

for getting data the codesnippet below

public static string GetHTMLFromURL(string url)
{
    if(url.Length == 0)
        throw new ArgumentException("Invalid URL","url");

    string html = "";
    HttpWebRequest request = GenerateGetOrPostRequest(url,"GET",null);
    HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse( );
    try
    {
        if(VerifyResponse(response)== ResponseCategories.Success)
        {
            // get the response stream.
            Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream( );
            // use a stream reader that understands UTF8
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream,Encoding.UTF8);

            try
            {
                html = reader.ReadToEnd( );
            }
            finally
            {
                // close the reader
                reader.Close( );
            }
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        response.Close( );
    }
    return html;
}

Hello eng.rana,

It's possibe, use HttpRuntime.CodegenDir
the only problem is that your files are not in the virtual folder - they
are compiled into
\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\<you_app>\bla-bla\bla-bla and it's changes
time to time

so the best way is to use WebRequest with virtual path

e> refrence the local server to convert from the virtual path to the
