Handling URL in c#

Question

I am making a windows form application using c# that will check a url, follow redirection and sees if the redirected url is the one i want.

As a new programmer, I have only handled any network related things in java and my searches of doing the same in c# have been unsuccessful. Could you guys help me out please?

You want to use 2 completely and opposite programming languages to do something C# could handle by itself? doesn't make much sense to me. — Prix, Mar 26 '14 at 01:55

Start by using the search on this site, there is plenty of questions that show how to get a page and how to check the page content, more specially you want either webclient/webrequest and htmlagilitypack library.

Use:

WebClient wc= new WebClient();
var str = wc.DownloadString("YourURL");

With WebClient you can send request and get response.
