Question Read text file in localhost

[LeonLanford]

Hi.. I really need help
I want to read file from http://localhost/tes/view.txt

but it got stuck at this code

Dim objReader As New StreamReader("http://localhost/tes/view.txt")

It said URI format not supported.. How to make it support? Is there some way to read remote file text?

Thanks..

I don't have anything handy to test with but this should be close.

Dim wc As New Net.WebClient
Dim fileContents As String = wc.DownloadString(address)
