How to make an HTTP get request with parameters

Is it possible to pass parameters with an HTTP get request? If so, how should I then do it? I have found an HTTP post requst (link). In that example the string postData is sent to a webserver. I would like to do the same using get instead. Google found this example on HTTP get here. However no parameters are sent to the web server.

First WebClient is easier to use; GET arguments are specified on the query-string - the only trick is to remember to escape any values:

        string address = string.Format(
            "http://foobar/somepage?arg1={0}&arg2={1}",
            Uri.EscapeDataString("escape me"),
            Uri.EscapeDataString("& me !!"));
        string text;
        using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
        {
            text = client.DownloadString(address);
        }

In a GET request, you pass parameters as part of the query string.

string url = "http://somesite.com?var=12345";

GET request with multiple params:

curl --request GET --url http://localhost:8080/todos/?limit=10&offset=2 --header 'content-type:application/json'
