WebClient() downloadstring returns HTML with strange symbols

Question

I am using

WebClient c = new WebClient();
c.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
var vLogin = c.DownloadString("http://www.www");

And it returns an HTML, but it appears < instead of < and > instead of >

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

These (< and >) are standard HTML character entities. You can use an HTML decoder to get "normal" character.
