Hows Mozenda Screen Scraper coded?

I want to know how is the Mozenda Screen Scraper coded?

http://www.mozenda.com/screen-scraper

I shows a browser where user can select the fields he wants to scrap and it creates a crawl script out of it.

The crawl script generation part is clear to me, I want to know does it record the user actions which the user is doing in the browser.

I want to do something similar using C#.

I guess they run something like iMacros on the backend. I even noticed the iMacros browser icon in some of their screenshots ;-)

If you want to code something like this yourself in C#, the IE webbrowser control is the best starting point!
