             HttpWebRequest req;
            HttpWebResponse resp;
            Stream st;
            StreamReader sr;
            string empid;
            // TextBox2.Text = buffer;
            int index = 0, rindex, tindex, groupIndex;
            bool found = false;

            req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?keywords=local+government&companyName=&location=surrey&scrambleSeed=64445904&searchType=advance&M=&bandedclarifyResults=&ssm=1&autocomplete=kwlo");
            resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
            st = resp.GetResponseStream();
            sr = new StreamReader(st);
            string buffer = sr.ReadToEnd();

the buffer contains the response on the page as html

you have to parse the HTML using regular expression for the required result.
