What do you mean by 'meta information' of a website?

Look here: C# Station: Fetching Web Pages with HTTP.
You can parse the resulted text as xml, but i suggest using regular expressions to extract what you need.

I assume the term metadata refers to the Headers information, if so then following code will help you to start,

C#

namespace ConsoleApplication24
{
    using System;
    using System.Net;
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.Codeproject.com");
            request.Method = "GET";
            IWebProxy proxy = WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();
            proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
            request.Proxy = proxy;

            using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
            {
                WebHeaderCollection collection = response.Headers;

                Array.ForEach(collection.AllKeys,
                    key =>
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("{0,20}:{1}", key, string.Concat(collection.GetValues(key)));
                    });
            }
        }
    }
}

This code will produce following output,

    Proxy-Connection:Keep-Alive
          Connection:Keep-Alive
      Content-Length:94210
       Cache-Control:private
        Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8

          Set-Cookie:SessionGUID=f20a2597-70c8-4a1a-97b9-718fc0c108d9; path=/mgu

Or if we want to get meta tag please have a look,

C# Parse Meta Tags[^]

Hope it helps a bit :)
