remote posts. Using .net

Hello,
am new to .net coming from a classic ASP background.

We used to post data to a remote unix server using XMLHTTP object and read a status report from the remote server.

something like thus. Comments are in red

Code:

Dim getsmsstatus 
Set getsmsstatus=CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") 
getsmsstatus.Open "GET", destination, False 
getsmsstatus.Send  'SENDS to the remote server

answers = oXH.responseText ' gets a status report back

How do we achieve this in .net

thanks
Ehi

One way is to use the HttpWebRequest class.
