Extracting specific data from a web page

Oct 3 2012 12:47 AM
I am looking to find out how to get information from a third-party website into textboxes on my form. I am using VB.Net 2010 Express under Windows XP (no money to upgrade right now).

I know how to find the data with a webbrowser and can get the HTML of that webpage in its entirety. What I am stuck on is how to get from the HTML data I have to string values in a textbox.

Here is part of the webpage I am working with:

<tr valign="middle" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">

<td width="80%"><a href="/teams/nfl/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> (0-4)</td>

<td width="20%" align="right">16</td>

</tr>

 

<tr valign="middle" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">

<td width="80%"><a href="/teams/nfl/baltimore-ravens"><b>Baltimore Ravens</b></a> (3-1)</td>

<td width="20%" align="right">23</td>

</tr>


The items highlighted in RED are what I need. Can anyone help with this?
