I did something related in the past using Selenium, but now the changed the API and it's not so easy as it was before. (They merged Selenium with Web Driver)

You can see more about that in here:

You can also use Watin to do the same.

You could use an HttpWebRequest to download the site content then use HtmlAgilityPack to parse the HTML and get the data.

When you change the value of the drop down list does it trigger a post? – CSharpYouDull Oct 29 '13 at 19:42
