Title Body

My plan is to have a user write down a movie title in my program and my program will pull the appropiate information asynchronously so the UI doesn't freeze up. Here's the code: public class IMDB { WebClient WebClientX = new WebClient(); byte[] Buffer = null; public string[] SearchForMovie(string SearchParameter) { //Format the search parameter so it forms a valid IMDB *SEARCH* url. //From within the search website we're going to pull the actual movie //link. string sitesearchURL = FindURL(SearchParameter); //Have a method download asynchronously the ENTIRE source code of the //IMDB *search* website. Buffer = WebClientX.DownloadDataAsync(sitesearchURL); //Pass the IMDB source code to method findInformation(). //string [] lol = findInformation(); //???? //Profit. string[] lol = null; return lol; } My actual problem lies in the WebClientX.DownloadDataAsync() method. I can't use a string URL for it. How can I use that built in function to download the bytes of the site (for later use I will convert this to string, I know how to do this) and without freezing up my GUI? Perhaps a clear cut example of the DownloadDataAsync so I can learn how to use it? Thanks SO, you're always such a great resource.
