You can use a webclient with streamreader to save the html code which of course has the text with it somewhere. Here is a sample code of how to import a webpages html code to a textbox. All you have to do from here is do a search through that string and pull out whatever you need. Im sure there is probably a better way to do this but this just came to my head :p

 

 

 

 

 

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

dim htmlstr as string

dim sr as io.streamreader

dim wc as new net.webclient

dim s as string

'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' this will create a large string and save it to var s

htmlstr = "http://mysite.com"

 

sr = New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead(htmlstr))

s = sr.ReadToEnd

sr.DiscardBufferedData()

sr.Close()

wc.Dispose()

TextBox1.Text = s

 

's now contains all the html and displays it in a textbox
