Solution 1

Check out HttpWebRequest.GetResponse[^].

There is a nice example on how to get content from a web site.
About stripping out HTML tags, it is somewhat more complex to do.

One way is to use Regular Expression to replace HTML tags, but using Regular Expression on a HTML is not good and can be very tricky.
