1. Use the HttpWebRequest to request for the page and get the response. Check out MSDN

2. Use the response stream to create an XmlDocument. This assumes the web page conforms to XHTML standards otherwise it wont work.

3. Use XPATH to query for 'a' elements with the 'href' attribute. It will give you the data in a node list which can be iterated through and you can use standard ADO.NET to save the data in the database.

If you can't rely on step two then you'll have to search through the data for those tags.
