How to retrieve content from a website with VS 11

I am trying this in Visual Studio 11 in Windows 8. As I see I can't use WebClient to do this, so I tried using HttpClient:

var client = new HttpClient();
var response = client.Get("http://google.com");
var result = XDocument.Parse(response.Content.ReadAsString());

My problem is that I always get result to be null. In response I get a status code 200 (OK) but I can't see the content.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Most webpages are not valid XML.

You should use HTML Agility Pack instead.
