I want to read from online file, what's wrong with my code?

[pulsmartin]

I have the following code, at some point it was working, and now it just gives me back an empty string, I don't think I made any major changes.

Try
Dim myrequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://whatever.php")

Dim myresponse As WebResponse = myrequest.GetResponse
Dim mystream As Stream = myresponse.GetResponseStream
Dim myreader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(mystream)
Dim mytext As String = myreader.ReadToEnd
RichTextBox1.Text = mytext

Catch ex As Exception

End Try
