Get the title of a webpage using HttpWebRequest

I am trying to get the text in the title tag on a website using HttpWebRequest in VB.Net.

Is it possible to retrieve the text with HttpWebRequest and/or HttpWebResponse?

have a look at webclient.DownloadString. This should retrieve your webpage as a string within which you can locate the title tags.

The HttpWebRequest classes are about sending HTTP requests.
They don't know anything about HTML.

Instead, you need to use an HTML parser, such as HTML Agility Pack.
