Sounds like you need to use the HTML agility pack

Yes, you can use MSHTML to navigate the DOM. You would need to add a reference to Microsoft.mshtml in your project. An example of using it to get all links in a document would be:

private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document;

    foreach (HtmlElement element in doc.Links)
    {
        HTMLAnchorElement link = (HTMLAnchorElement) element.DomElement;
        Debug.WriteLine(link.href);
    }
}
