Reading text of a website, then adding it to string?

[Haxaro]

I am releasing a BETA version of my program, i have made it so on load, a webbrowser on another form goes to a text document on my website, but how can i get it so it reads the text and then it will know somehow if there is a new version avaliable?

Thanks,
Haxaro

WebClient.DownloadString will download the contents of a remote file directly into a String object.

You can compare string equality with = and <> operators. Comparison Operators (Visual Basic)
