[2005] Please help clarify WebClient & HttpWebRequest -

Ok, i've been looking up info lately on how to post data via the WebClient namespace and i come up with partial info. i figure out the posting, now i'm trying to figure out how to load a url and get the html code. Similar to what Inet.Execute (posts data) and Inet.OpenURL (opens connection to another link). anyway my question is what is equivalent to the Inet control of VB6?

Please explain the difference between WebClient, and HttpWebRequest?
What control should i be using to perform the task of the old Inet.Execute and Inet.Execute?

Like Inet when POST data is sent via Inet.Execute the connection remains open when you load another URL via Inet.OpenURL. I want to be able to do that without losing connect or creating a new connection. So when I login and go to another page the connection remains.

thanks in advance.
