HOW TO IMPORT DATA FROM WEB INTO DB TABLE

[RPredrag]

For couple years I’ve been creating applications using .NET to automatically import data from certain Web site into DB tables for statistical purposes. I usually did it using WebRequest and WebResponse objects to get those data in text format and with some logic extracting information I need into proper table in DB. But recently I came across on
Web sites like this one:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ba...Team=487&vendorHomeTeam=334&pageType=boxscore

I was not able to get anything using objects mention above and if you look at source code you’ll notice only HTML tags and some Java scripts, no numeric statistic for game. My question is if anyone gets an idea how someone would create and app to automatically get statistics from this web site into DB, or if it is at all possible something like this?

The data is written out to the page by one of the javascript functions. You can trace through these files to find out when and how.
