How to get info from a website?

[Daemoncraft]

im in this game called outwar.and i was wondering if someone could help me code a windows application in C# that can sort the 10 ppl with most money out..

please help me.

Sure. Use Sockets to connect to the remote server, then send an HTTP GET request to retrieve the page you want by supplying a relative URI, then parse the returned data stream using the same socket. Store the page in a string (or whatever) then use regular expressions to extract the relevant information from the raw HTML.

Any questions?

You could also use HttpWebRequest to perform the Get/Post.

Although, how is it more efficient to open up an application to check the scores when you could just login to the website and check it?
