Solution 1

You need to write a screen scraper, i.e. a program that uses one of the .NET classes to read HTML and gives access to the DOM tree of the page that you read. Try a Google search for "screen scraper" for ideas.

Solution 2

If you really need to get data from Web sites, not Web services or something else, you really need to use Web scraping techniques, as Richard already pointed out. I explained how they work in my past answers:

How to get the data from another site[^],
get specific data from web page[^].
