Web page inside a .NET application

Milan

I would like to write an application that can get the HTML source of a web page. Unfortunately, the pages I am after cannot be gotten to directly with a URL as it requires doing a search on the web page. How can I obtain this using a .NET application? One way I thought of was to have a control that gave like a mini-browser. The mini-browser would be fully interactive like a normal browser but the source of the mini-browser could be obtained by the hosting .NET application. Is this possible? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Sorry, let me try to explain better. I would like to be able to retrieve the HTML source for some web pages. Unfortunately, the URL for these web pages cannot be obtained as they are dynamically created using a search feature. Is it possible to have a Windows control in a .NET application that displays my web page. I can then navigate to the web page using the search feature within this control. I am hoping such a control would then allow me to get the source of the page. Hope that makes more sense. Thanks.
