How can I display website content from another site onto mine?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how I can display website content from another website onto mine using ASP or ASP.net? For example, I want just the text of the content from a news website and have it displayed onto my website

I am able to contact the web developer on this other website, however. This would prove helpful as we both can come up with something compatible.

Please advise.

Thank you.

You can use the xmlhttp object to retrieve the html of another site into a variable in your asp code, then you can manipulate the html like you want and display it in your page.

I'm glad you mentioned you are in contact with the other site, it would be wrong to simply grab another site content and stick it in your own site without permission.
