For couple years I’ve been creating applications using .NET to automatically import data from certain Web site into DB tables for statistical purposes. I usually did it using WebRequest and WebResponse objects to get those data in text format and with some logic extracting information I need into proper table in DB. But recently I came across on Web sites like this one
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/men/scoreboards/divia/2007/12/07/index.html
I was not able to get anything using objects mention above and if you look at source code you’ll notice only HTML tags and some Java scripts, no numeric statistic for game. My question is if anyone gets an idea how someone would create and app to automatically get statistics from this web site into DB, or if it is at all possible something like this? What kind of technology is used, is it AJAX or something else. . I usually use C# windows application not a web so I have no experience in web development. Any help or suggestion kindly appreciated.
