WebClient, WebRequest and Stream not returning anything...?

Question

I have tried both WebClient's DownloadSring and WebRequest+Stream to try and scrape a page (This one) and get the Raw Paste data from it. I have scoured the net but have found no answers.

I have this code:

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" +  textBox1.Text);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream data = response.GetResponseStream();
string pasteContent = "";
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(data))
{
    pasteContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
new Note().txtMain.Text += pasteContent;
new Note().txtMain.Refresh();

and I have multiple forms so I am editing Note's txtMain textbox to add the paste content but it seems to return nothing, no matter which function I use. I know cross-form editing works because I have multiple things that can return to it.

How can I scrape the raw data?

Thank you VERY much,
P

There is no problem in downloading the content of your site. You simply doesn't use the instance of the Node class you created.

var note = new Note();

note.txtMain.Text += pasteContent;
note.Show();
