@ AlluvialDeposit how to save a web page on the hard drive

In the browser, click File, Save As. My guess is you need to provide more information so it is clear what you are trying to do because it is not clear.

But those are already saved on your website folder in IIS..Why do you want to save it again ?

I agree.. If it's your own website then you don't have to go the "download --> save as html --> convert html to pdf --> index" way.. Totally unnecessary.

You can use a WebClient to fetch a webpage.

C#

string html;
var req = WebRequest.Create("http://www.codeproject.com") as HttpWebRequest;
var res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

using (var srResponseReader = new StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream()))
{
    html = srResponseReader.ReadToEnd();
    srResponseReader.Close();
}

res.Dispose();

After you fetch the website you just save the string (containing all the html):

C#

System.IO.File.WriteAllText("c\\file.txt", html);

But if you want to download all the images, scripts, css etc. it's a little more complex.
Convert any URL to a MHTML archive using native .NET code[^]
