Default Query for ScreenScraping Tech in .NET

Hi Friends,

This is siva from chennai.
I am going to write a good scripter using C# that can capture data from a web page. The data seems to be coming down in XML format and I cannot find how to access it.
Here's the 30 second rundown on how I get to the data now...
Login to a web page (I have a membership)
Select the search
Input the date range and select search button
Output is displayed in a table with links to the actual data
I must then click on each link, which brings up a screen with all the data I
need.
I must do this for each dataset... there are hundreds.
I'd like to automate this process and capture the data into a database.
Is "screen-scraping" a possibility? If so, generally, how does that work?
Or is there a more effective approach to getting at that data in realtime?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Sivakumar.B
