So... you basically want your c# code to access the data entered/returned in the webbrower?

Ya something like that for eg. consider u have google something. Now whatever the results i see on my browser screen. I want to fetch it and store it in file or directly in db using c# code.

But isn't the page you see in your browser screen made of HTML? Thus by programmatically looking through the HTML you should be able to find the data you want?

If "wb" is, for example, your webbrowser control, than you can access the HTML it is displaying with

wb.DocumentText

you can also try

wb.Document

If you're familiar with HTML than you should be able to get the data you want from these properties. I recommend googling these properties for more information.
