I want to know how to get url information into a variable or some storage container in C#.Specific i need above information ,i don't need rest of information. I use the bellow syntax:

WebClient objWebClient = new WebClient();

aRequestHTML = objWebClient.DownloadData("http://www.dsebd.org/latest_PE.php");//http://www.dsebd.org/latest_PE_all2_08.php
UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();

HtmlDocument htmlDoc = new HtmlDocument();
htmlDoc.LoadHtml(myString);

After that what to do?i don't guess any thing.Plz show some syntax

  foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes(@"//td"))//td[text()="Price Earning Ratio : at a glance"
            {
                if (node.InnerHtml.Contains("Price Earning Ratio"))
                {
                    //I get the td value

                }

Answer 1

If you want to download content from above URL you can use WebClient (standard c# class for making http requests) to make the http call and then Html Agility Pack to parse the html and extract the data.

Answer 2

Take a look at the HTML Agility Pack - it is a HTML parser that lets you pass in a URL which will parse so you can query it using XPath.

HtmlWeb hw = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument doc = hw.Load("http://www.dsebd.org/latest_PE.php");

At this point doc can be queries and looked at:

foreach(HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("XPATH for interesting nodes"))
{
  // do stuff with node
}
