Solution 1

Get a copy of the NuGet Gallery | HtmlAgilityPack 1.11.46[^], it can extract any information you need from a web page.

Better idea, use the link provided in OriginalGriff's solution.

Thanks, but my link was obviously not the one I should have found.

To add to Richard's excellent recommendation, I'd suggest you start here: Html Agility Pack[^] - the syntax can be a little arcane when you first look at it, but it's very flexible and powerful.

HTMLAgilityPack is what I use when I need to get info from a site.
