Read HTML From A Webpage And Interact With It As Own In A WPF Application?
Apr 24, 2011
I've search numerous hours, but I haven't been able to find the appropriate solution. What I want to do: Get the html of a certain webpage (Lets say in this case url...this html within my wpf application, so that you can see the content of the page you requested. Then I want to be able to trigger events on the html that has been loaded from the URL. Like I want you to be able to click on a certain node in the HTML and I want to be able to link this node to a certain value. Basically a crawler application that let's you request a page, see the page in a control and allows you to click in the loaded HTML and link values to predefined values you set. So basically I want to be able to get a webpage displayed within my application and be able to trigger events on the html (For example a click on the html which would need me to know on what node you clicked in the html, or for example be able to edit the html by clicking in it).
How would I send that to a remote server as if I had just filled out a form on a webpage? Specifically... I'm looking to have a program automatically log me in to a web site like Facebook, get important details/updates, then log out.
Basically i have a .net application that has a directory path stored in the app.config file. this directory path outputs xml files that will be read by an asp.net web page.
Is there any way i can get the asp.net web page to read the directory path stored in the app.config file? Should i look to use the web.config file at all?
My students did a tutorial in HTML Help Workshop to add Help files to a VB 2008 Windows application. They zipped the files and uploaded them to our class web site.
I downloaded them at home, unzipped, and tried to check, but every one shows Table of Contents or Index and cannot find the .htm documents for the topic. The same thing happened in my office. However, these projects work correctly in our classroom lab and do display the .htm files.
At user login, launch an app I have created. This app opens a web site in a webbrowser control, logs the user in to the web site, and parses links from the resulting web page. These links are links to launch citrix sessions on another farm.
Create another app that appears on the start menu for the logged in user. User clicks on this app, it communicates with the launch app to basically click the href associated with the citrix app within the webbrowser control. Then this app will go away...
I have already coded the first app and figured out how to click links within the webbrowser control. What I can't figure out is how to go about implementing the second app, that runs as a separate app, but communicates with the first app to do its business. I see a plethora of options such as MFC, AppDomains, RPC, and so on. My question is which is the best practice to have one app interact with another and have the other app take actions based on that interaction? I prefer to stick completely to vb.net.
A good example of how I would like this to work - a web browser (IE, FF, whatever) is open on the desktop, user clicks a link in an email, link opens in running browser. An action in the mail client causes action in the browser.
I'm doing a project in VB.NET, in which the application will interact with SQL Server 2008 database. I know how to develop that application. But after created executable version of that application(.exe) i will install it in another machine. How will that application interact with database at that machine??
I'm trying to make a program where when you click a button it will retrieve each value of certain things on a webpage. I.E; [URL] On that webpage it shows Clan,Kills,Etc. I want to make it to where a Label will Say "Kills:" And another label next to it will have the value of kills retrieved from that webpage, and each time the button is clicked the stats will update if they are changed..I think it's simple to do, but I don't know how..
I'm trying to fill a web ASPX form thru a VB.NET desktop program using the IE control SHDocVw.InternetExplorerSo far i can set all the textfields that i have to set and click the send button, but i have a small problem: i have to execute a "validation" java script code that is on the ASPX page before clicking the SUBMIT button.
Here's my code: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
I just went from Visual Basic 6 to Visual Basic .NET 2008 Express Edition.
And now I am planning to make a program, using the Web Browser function, but there it stops The program is supposed to navigate to an site, then check for some text from the site.
In Visual Basic 6 I used this code:
If InStr(1, WebBrowser1.document.body.parentelement.InnerHtml, "texthere") > 0 Then MsgBox "Found the text" Else
Probably a simple question but I cant figure it out. I have a webbrowser control, which navigates to a URL where it logs in, then a different URL where theres some information I need. I would like to save this page as an HTML document. I can navigate to the page easily, so is there any way to tell the webbrowser to save the current page as an HTML document?
How to get source/HTML code of the web page that is shown in WebBrowser1 when I click a button? I would like it to be written in Notepad or eventually in new form..
I want to get the links and images from an html code using the htmlDocument class available through webBrowser.So I retrieved and assigned the html code to the webBrowser trying each one of this 3
I have a web page that reads xml files to display server statistics. Ideally i want the users to be able to setup and save multiple connections to different servers. They would then be able to choose which server they wish to view through a asp.net web page
so using the webbrowser control, im trying to grab text from a webpage and have them listed into a list box
The webpage contains nothing except the following "red, blue, green". There is no html, just those three words separated by commas, and saved as a .htm file.
For some odd reason, when I download text files, the HTML of the web page is being appended to the text! All other file types work fine!Here's the code that's doing the download:
Public Sub DownloadBlob(ByVal Blob As Byte(), ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Response As HttpResponse) Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", FileName.Replace(" ", "_"))) Response.ContentType = String.Format("application/{0}", Path.GetExtension(FileName).Substring(1)) Response.BinaryWrite(Blob) End Sub
I have used .NET and ShDocVw for years to grab data off webpages without any issues I couldn't overcome. This website has me beat though. It seems like such as easy task to grab the titles and other information off a library search page, but I can't see the data to be able to grab it. Usually, I just look in the DOM, but the data wasn't there. I did a view source, but the data wasn't there.
I was trying to use HtmlDocument and a given url to pull in the html contents of a website to use. However there is no constructor for HtmlDocument and it's Url property is readonly. Is there any way to create an object that contains the entire DOM for a given url?
I once read somewhere it was quite simple (few lines of code) to display a webpage in a webbrowser control, by passing the control the HTML from a string, or predefined code.
I decided it's time to migrate from VB6 to VB.NET and am currently translating my radio player but have run into several issues so I might be on this forum for the rest of the day... Anyway, in VB6 I used Inet to get the source of a PHP page that had the current song that was playing on the SHOUTcast stream. I can't seem to get Inet to work and figured I would just look for another method so I wouldn't need to pack msinet.ocx along with the finished product.
How can I get the source of the PHP page and store it in a variable or textbox/label.
[URL] but then with the option to provide username & password. I have managed to do this with the webbrowser, first logging in then go to webpage and get source code but this takes much longer than just getting the source code...
Is there any way to do this? I found this:
[URL]
I tried with &username=...&password=... in the URL but it didn't work
