I am trying to screen scrape in VB.net using HttpWebRequest which works fine except that the what I get back is the source of the page I am fetching (as expected). The problem is that the page has embedded Javascript in it and the value I am trying to lookup cannot be easily captured using regex. The value I want to capture is there in the sourec file but is a javascript array and gets "placed" in the right table cell when the page gets displayed. Is there some way for me to get the page back exactly as it looks on the screen, i.e. after the browser has finished rendering it.

Thanks for your help.
 
Perhaps you can load the page in the WebBrowser control and use the DOM to access the correct tags? All the tag nodes are available from the Document property.
