How to retrieve data from Yahoo Finance to my website?

Question

I am making an ASP.NET website where I want to retrieve data from Yahoo Finance, e.g.:

http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=RHT+MSFT&f=sb2b3jk

I am referring to above link to fetch data from Yahoo Finance.

The above link gives data in CSV format.

Use the System.Net.WebClient to request the CSV, then something like FileHelpers to parse the file into a usable object. Then stuff into whatever you want.
