How to web scrape?

I'm still pretty new to vb.net and I want to learn how to web scrape site's like get specific information using div ids

http://www.mpgh.net/forum/33-visual-...se-forums.html
@Jason tool and tutorial for it

If you want to do it yourself, the front page has question regarding that. Just click the threads.

Thanks, that tutorial's really helpful, but how would I get information like from rankings via page source?

EDIT:

This is what I have

Code:

Imports WebClasses
Imports System.Net
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub
    Dim wClass As New WebClass()
    Dim cCont As New CookieContainer()
    Private Function tryLogin(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) As Boolean
        'Calls
        Dim site As String = "http://sitehere/login.php"
        Dim data As String = "username=" & TxtBox1.Text & "&password=" & TxtBox2.Text & "&loginBtn=Login"
        Dim referer As String = "http://sitehere/login.php"

        Dim requestString As String = wClass.PostData(site, data, referer, cCont) 'Cache Storage
        'Login Successful! Redirecting.... 
        Dim retVal As Boolean = False 'default return is false
        If requestString.Contains("Login Successful! Redirecting....") Then retVal = True
        Return retVal
    End Function
