u can use google maps to get the distance and routes between two points right, and when u save tat result page as a text file your output is copied as a in text, for my application i am trying to get this info of distance to store it in database, a new user can search for two locations and tat gets added into the db.
i want the code behind logic to save the result into the text format,
i am actually sending the url through my page.

There are two ways to do so :

Solution 1 :

C#

string url = "http://google.com";
string strResult = "";
			
WebResponse objResponse;
WebRequest objRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url);

//Get the Web Page data
objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
    //Read the data
    strResult = sr.ReadToEnd();

    // Close and clean up the StreamReader
    sr.Close();
}

// Display results to a webpage
Response.Write(strResult);

Solution 2 :

C#

System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile("http://www.dotnetspider.com/index.aspx","C:\\spider.html");
