This is what I made by following couple of tutorials. I know that I should've created functions instead of having everything under Button_Click but I'm just wondering if this is done properly with using basic commands.

Code

Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO

Public Class Form1
    Private Function getData(ByVal Address As String) As String
      Dim rt As String = ""

      Dim wRequest As WebRequest
      Dim wResponse As WebResponse

      Dim SR As StreamReader

      wRequest = WebRequest.Create(Address)
      wResponse = wRequest.GetResponse

      SR = New StreamReader(wResponse.GetResponseStream)

      rt = SR.ReadToEnd
      SR.Close()

      Return rt
    End Function

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
      Dim temp(20) As String

      TextBox2.Text = getData(TextBox1.Text)

      Dim input As String = getData(TextBox1.Text)
      Dim rawData() As String
      rawData = input.Split(",")

      'Testing array data
      For i = 0 To rawData.Length - 1
      MsgBox(rawData(i))
      Next

      temp = rawData(0).Split(":")
      Dim ID As String = temp(2)
      ID = ID.Replace("""", "")
      MsgBox(ID)

      temp = rawData(1).Split(":")
      Dim name As String = temp(1)
      name = name.Replace("""", "")
      MsgBox(name)

    End Sub

End Class
