Solution 1

You cannnot access datagrid open in web browser from windows service. Any browser will not allows any application or service to access the data displayed in that. You need to use HTTP Request in service to get HTML of grid and then parse that HTML to get the data. Another proper solution is to create web service or wcf service along with the website and consume that from windows service.

Thank you very much Jaydeep for your valuable reply.Which is the best and easiest method.Using Http request or Using WCF?..

Use WCF or Webservice, It is a proper method for communicating remote application and web site/database using service architecture.
