Solution 1

It makes a web request (http) to the url that is in strTemplateUrl, it reads the response and puts the content of that response into strHtmlContent. In other works, it programatically navigates to the url and puts the "source" of that page into a variable.

To do this in .net you'd use something like WebClient.
