Give the HTMLAgilityPack a look into. Its a pretty decent HTML parser

Here's some code to get you started (requires error checking)
HtmlDocument document = new HtmlDocument();
string htmlString = "<html>blabla</html>";
document.LoadHtml(htmlString);
HtmlNodeCollection collection = document.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a");
foreach (HtmlNode link in collection)
{
string target = link.Attributes["href"].Value;
}

You can use regular expression (Regex class) for it. The expression can be something like that: login.html\?key=[^"]*
