Is there server control that you load with HTML from a URL

I am wondering if there is a server control, something like a lieteral
control, that you can load its content (html) at runtime by specifying
a URL, so that the literal's text property is URL-loaded?

For example (something like):

string URL = "http://www.yahoo.com";
litMyDynamicHTML.text = LoadControlFromWebsite(URL);

Any methods to get this accomplished would be great.

Why don't you use iframe?

I'd suggest you use an IFRame, as in this example:

use webclient to get the html. if the html include <img> tags, script or
stlylesheet include, you will have to translate these into a redirector of
your chosing.

Had to go with Bruce's solution. It's exactly what I need. I can
populate a literal control with any site's html after downloading it.
Awesome.

Could you just go a bit further and illustrate how to "translate these
into a redirector"?

Much appreciated.
