You can easily fetch the html content of the any URL into the string using the string builder and webrequest .net classes. Refer this link for the sample code.

If you are looking just to display the URL in the windows form then there is one component available named WebBrowser in C#.

Also take a look at "mshtml".

Try code

private string GetHtmlFromUrl(string url)
    {
        string html = "";
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
        
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        // get the response stream.
        //Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        // use a stream reader that understands UTF8
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8);
        html = reader.ReadToEnd();
        // close the reader
        reader.Close();
        response.Close();
        return html;//return conten html
    }

If you just want to display the webpage as it appears in your browser then the WebBrowser control is the easiest way to go. You jsut set the URL and it works like any other webbrowser, but its a control embedded in your program.

in C# WebResponse return a StreamReader and we can get the content from StreamReader ..

            WebResponse webresponse ;
            webRequest = WebRequest.Create(textBox1.Text);
            webresponse = webRequest.GetResponse();
            inStream = new StreamReader(webresponse.GetResponseStream());
            textBox2.Text = inStream.ReadToEnd();
