Print HtmlDocument to metro app textbox c#

Question

I'm new to this Windows Metro stuff and I am trying to make a application that grab a html page from the web and fills some fields in the app.

Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to grab a page and send pure HTML to a textbox.

I've setted up a button (that runs the next function once clicked) and a textbox to display the information.

The function executed by the button is this:

private void fetch_websites(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    String url = "http://www.google.com/";
    HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
    doc.LoadHtml(url);
    this.content_block.Text = doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;
}

The problem is that the displayed information is not the Html code but the "url" string.

(I've seen this code in here and here)

LoadHtml method takes the html content to parse. It doesn't automatically loads the url. Use HtmlAgilityPack's HtmlWeb class or HttpClient / WebClient / HttpWebRequest classes to get the page from your url.

Got it!

    private async void fetch_websites(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        String url = "http://www.google.com/";
        HtmlWeb page = new HtmlWeb();
        HtmlDocument doc = await page.LoadFromWebAsync(url);
        //doc.LoadHtml(url);
        this.content_block.Text = doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;
    }
