thanks, you helped very much. i solved it. just the code like below is enough.

    string url = "www.testweb.com";
    WebRequest myReq = WebRequest.Create(url);
    myReq.Timeout = 1000000000;
    string username = "Administrator";
    string password = "123456";
    myReq.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
    WebResponse wr = myReq.GetResponse();
    Stream receiveStream = wr.GetResponseStream();
    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);
    string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
