Hi,
Try like this

bool isFound = false;
string url="";
foreach (HtmlElement row in webBrowser1.Document.Window.Frames["View_Frame"].Document.GetElementsByTagName("TR"))
{
    foreach (HtmlElement link in row.GetElementsByTagName("A"))
      {

        isFound = true;
mshtml.HTMLAnchorElement anchor = link.DomElement as HTMLAnchorElement;
if (anchor != null)
{
        url = anchor.href;
}
          //code to click on weblink to download files.
      }
}

if (isFound && url!="")
{
  WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
var fileName =
@"C:\DownLoadFile\filename.fileextension";
client.DownloadFile(url, fileName);
MessageBox.Show("Completed");
}
