Definition:

An SPWeb object represents a single website in SharePoint residing in a Site Collection (SPSite).

• SPWeb class

Code example:

//through current context
SPWeb myWeb = SPContext.Current.Web;

//opening from an SPSite
SPWeb mySite = mySiteCollection.OpenWeb("http://yoursiteurl/"))

SPWeb implements the IDisposable interface so you should close the object when you no longer need it. This is not the case when you're object is assigned through a Context. So in the first line, the Dispose() should not be called. You can close it manually or use the using statement to do this for you:

//manually
myWeb.Dispose();

//using statement
using(SPSite mySiteCollection = new SPSite("http://mysharepointsite/"))
{
    using(SPWeb myWeb = mySiteCollection.OpenWeb("http://yoursiteurl/"))
    {
        //get the title of the website
        string name = myWeb.Title;
    }
}
