[Guest]

web services.

I want to write a server application which is to retrieve and process
infromation from third party web site (pages and forms) which does not
provide web services.
And then populate some useful information in our web page.

What kind of technique should I use? Where to get a detail knowledge about
the technique?

Thanks for any advice.

You can use the System.Net.WebClient or System.Web.WebRequest classes
to make requests from the other site. You'll have to parse the results
you want out of the HTML response.

This technique is commonly referred to as "screen scraping":

Thank you, Scott:

The parse is very important. I will read this article.
I hope that thee is a source code package available.
