VB.NET -> Search in HTML class ?

EDIT: I'm using Visual Basic 2008

Hi.

Is it possible for VB.NET to search in a HTML class?

Because I'm making a program that will click on a link in a class called "click" and in the class there is a link (href) that wan't my program to click on.

So simply, I wan't my program to search in the class "click" after a href and then click on it.

Or, if it's more easy, it could give me the value of the link. ( This one would be better for me, because then I could collect some info from it ).

If you wonder why I need this program I can explain:

I work in PHP for most of my time, and now I'm creating a website and a game, and a cPanel for the users. To controll everything it would be more effectiv if I had a "remote control", and thats what I'm building in VB.Net.

Code:

Using wc As New Net.WebClient()
    Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("http://mywebsite.com/mypage.html"))
    Dim html As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
    sr.Close() : sr.Dispose()
    Dim re As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("(?<=\<a.+?href="")[^""]+""(?=.+?class=""?click)")
    MessageBox.Show(re.Match(html).Value)
End Using

This works if the href attribute comes before the class attribute and the link is surrounded in quotes, which it should be, if the first/only defined class is click, and if the link is not javascript-based.

No this does not work for me. Any other suggestions?

Any reason why? Does it throw an exception? Doesn't show anything? Your website's link has a JavaScript onclick or onmousedown/up? It doesn't read the page properly? The regular expression isn't right? You need to display all the links, not just one? It's not in the format I specifically said would be the only working one for that particular Regex?

It does show something, a empty msgbox.
Why? I don't know.

I'm just searching for one link in a class, there is some text in the class before the link comes. But in that class there is just one link.

One link... in a class? I thought it was the other way around... you do mean the class= attribute, right?

Can you post the relevant part of the source HTML, please?
