   Hi all,   
      
   Can anyone give me any pointers on how to do the following in VB.NET?   
      
   Basically, I want a procedure that will take a web URL and a string as   
   parameters, e.g. www.microsoft.com and 'Bill Gates'   
      
   I want the procedure to pull that page from the web, check for the existence   
   of 'Bill Gates' and return either true or false depending on whether or not   
   the string can be found.   
      
   Help appreciated :)
