title: How to use WebClient with .NetCore?
body: <p>Is there any way to use a <code>WebClient</code> in a .NET Core application?
  If I build the application I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line
  Error   CS0246  The type or namespace name 'WebClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think <code>WebClient</code> is not a part of .NET Core, but is there any alternative?</p>
