If you mean download the source of a webpage...

C#

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

And the function...

C#

public static void SaveSource(string url, string path)
{
    WebClient client = new WebClient();
    string source = client.DownloadString(url);
    File.WriteAllText(path, source);
}

For faster results of getting the source of a webpage, you may want to look into HttpWebRequests.
