    Your question is quite vague and if you provide more detail someone would be able to give you assistance. Are you creating a Windows form app, ASP.net app etc? Is the text you're grabbing from the same page you want to display it on? – earthling Dec 04 '14 at 00:36

Check out HttpClient.GetStringAsync. You'll need to pull down the contents of the page at the given URL and then parse the contents for the field you want.

After that, displaying the value in the label is pretty straight forward. Give it a shot and if you run into problems post a specific question with code and you'll get a lot of help.
