Solution 1

Have you looked at the several open source crawlers made in c#, which can be easily found with google? No? Well, you should...
You could start here:

ans so on...

There are some open source crawler with c# in net, for example:

A Simple Crawler Using C# Sockets[^]
https://abot.codeplex.com/[^]
https://code.google.com/p/abot/[^]

but, if you want to learn and coding for its, you should do:

1- study about web request and response
2- get html source for first url
3- search in html and find tags with links, for example a with href
4- parse them and select and save in DB

finally i suggest to study sample code after coding.

Sorry about that downvote but using the edit for the post or replying to the comment is, as you know, the proper way to proceed here @ CP.
