"Inspect element" is a GUI feature of some browsers, you can't use it from code and doing so is pointless as you can get the data other ways.

This is about your 10th question regarding getting data from other people's websites, people are reluctant to answer these questions because the practice is generally considered unethical. Google "screen scraping c#" and you'll probably find examples, but it's unlikely someone is going to take time out of their day to show you how to take data from other people's sites.
