I need to capture some data from a web page and place it in a table. I think what I want to do is screen scraping (but not sure). I have used the webbrowser control to successfully navigate to the web page. There is also a username and password entry on the web page. Is there a way to capture the output of the web page and/or also display it? After doing some searching I'm not sure what the best approach should be (webbrowser, webclient, or web request) to accomplish this task. Any guidance would be appreciated. This is a windows forms app in Vb.Net 2003.
