Connecting to a website is one thing and getting "<"title">" of any website is another one.
Usually you can make a connection to a website by its services.

try HtmlAgilityPack
it will help you..
don't forgot to add HtmlAgilityPack.dll in your project.

Try this:
C#
 using System.Xml;
  using System.Xml.XPath;
  using System.Xml.Linq;
  using System.Net;
/*...........................*/

  HttpWebRequest myReq = ( HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Create( "http://www.contoso.com/" );
  myReq.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
  myReq.MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 5;
  XNode result;
  using( var responseStream = myReq.GetResponse( ).GetResponseStream( ) ) {
    result = XElement.Load( responseStream );
  }

  var title = result.XPathSelectElement( "//title" ).Value;
