Each day I have a scheduled task that runs at 7am (I think that's what I set it to) that runs a C# console app that loops through every possible VIN in the potential range and hits the window sticker page for that VIN. If the page works and has info, I then parse through the text (it's just html, not something nice like XML) and grab all the info. It was pretty painstaking to get this working right and there's still some issues where it's not perfect but it does the trick. It then inserts the data into a MS SQL server database table and moves on to the next VIN. It's pretty ghetto but there's not really a much better way to do it since GM doesn't make it easy. The web page is just a asp.net page using the AJAX extensions and a gridview to pull the data from the table.

DUDE!
Clearly we are not worthy...
Ok so you know I'm a SuperMicro Disty, Intel Direct, Gigabyte Disty, and X Microsoft, Bla Bla Bla. In fact I'm 3 miles from Intel. If you ever need anything.... give me a call. Hardware is the sea I flounder in.
We build servers that makes the whole world Sing......
What are you running to make this process sing?
