Thanks. But - I kinda sorted it here with this code snippet...
url = "https://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.xml"
Dim test As String = url
Dim UR As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create
(test)
UR.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("APONetworks",
"password")
Dim str As System.IO.Stream = UR.GetResponse
().GetResponseStream()
Dim r As New System.IO.StreamReader(str)
TextBox1.Text = r.ReadToEnd()
r.Close()
str.Close()
----------------------------------------------------------
It now retreives the web page I request all the time! Haha! No need
for external DLLs or any sort of thing.
I am well pleased!
I guess it's a kinda cheat - but it works :)
