Im using the webbrowser control in my application, but i want to permanently change the user agent when im navigating to sites.
I have tried the extended use of the .Navigate function for the webbrowser, but when the user navigates the browser, or when im beeing redirected by the site it goes back to the vb user-agent info.
Alternatly: Is there any way to catch the postinfo and http headers when the webbrowser control navigates to a new url?
change user agent permenantly in my app? i currently use webbrowser control only to browse 1 site which needs to be on mobile skin to look decent in my app.the only way i can do this, is if i change user agent to mobile device like apple iphone (example)so i tried this:
vb WebBrowser.Navigate("http://se-board.com/index/index.php", "_self", Nothing, "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko)
I am using GET and POST webrequests and am trying to set the User-Agent.
Public Sub getpost(ByVal URL As String, ByVal method As String, ByVal postdata As String) Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL) If method = "POST" Then request.Method = "POST" Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postdata) [Code] .....
The above is what I tried to set the user-agent but it returns an error saying that I'm not properly setting it.
I'm new in multi agent system...I have been assigned to do a project by using agent.The problem is how to create an agent that can check either the document submitted by user is relevent to the topic have been set by the administrator
im going get ot the point i just wanta download a file from a url and have it zip to a specific user defined fileurl so here is my fake code please put in vb 2008 language. [code]
I'm creating a CD that when inserted into a CD-Rom will AutoRun, which brings up the program starting with a splash screen, then the first window form. All this works, no problem. On the first window form I have a button (one of many) all buttons work (so far) except this one button. (I actually haven't test3d the buttonjs to see if they work on / from a CD yet, but they work in Debug).
I would like to have the user click the button, and have that button be tied to a zip file or an exe file that is in a folder on my CD, that will be downloaded to the user's computer. I would like the usual window to come up asking the user where the user would like to save the file, the user will choose the folder, click the save button and the file downloads from the CD to the hard drive of the user's computer, so the user can open it later. It doesn't have to Run from the CD, it is just to download to be accessed later.
Some files will be a Zip and others are Exe files that I would like to have downloaded to the user's PC by way of a button click. Of course the user's computer will need to be able to know which drive the CD is in.
This is what I've tried and doesn't seem to work...Have not tried it from directly from CD (Haven't tried anything directly from the CD as of yet, but after this problem my next step is try and make a AutoRun CD and test the program).
I'll start another post for How to Make my Program ready for a CD. I think it may involve Publishing...but publishing only made a setup.exe, which is Not what I want.
I have the following code that generates a csv file on a button click. [Code] What I want to do is open a download dialog box that will allow the user to open or save that file it has just created.
I am creating a windows application using visual studio. I want somehow to insert an excel file into the application so the user will be able to download it from the program and save it to his computer. This means that the file will be a part of the program. There will be a button that will prompt the user to save the particular file somewhere so he can then view it.
What should I do in order to "embody" the excel file to the application? And what code should I write to link the file with the button?
How do we embed / attach a pdf file (100 page file) in one of our form and the users should be allowed to download the same while executing /using this tool.
I ran across some legacy code which creates a link to a file on the web server and offers the user a link to download the file.
Machine name: MYSERVER [URL]
Full url path to the directory containing the file to download: [URL]
Target file name: downloadable.txt
The code does the following to create a link to 'downloadable.txt' server.machinename.tostring & ".. argetdownloadable.txt"
Which results in: "MYSERVER.. argetdownloadable.txt"
That link appears on the page as: <a href="MYSERVER.. arget.downloadable.txt">download this file</a>
In IE 7, mousing over the link shows the full URL "[URL]" in the status bar. And it works fine for downloading the file in IE 7 (left or right-click). Firefox shows "[URL]" in the status bar and downloading the file isn't as straight forward. FF actually tries to change the file name to include the server name and target directory in the file name.
I've tried other methods like WebClient.DownloadFile() and had no success. This works, but I'm unfamiliar with the ".." and curious about how it works. I understand that ".." typically means go up one directory. My question was really more in the line of "how does that get interpreted in the browser to sort out the path?"
I made a little program for Hobby-use, and I like it to be installed by an installer. There's an installer program (Windows Installer 3.1?) deliverd with Visual Studio 2008 but that does not do the job completely. I want a coupling to be made between a program and a the users startup directory.If Windows Installer 3.1 can do that after all, can somebody explain how? If not, is there a free or low cost, simple to use (no scripting) installer program what will do the job? At last: Is there a version of .NET Framework 3.5 that does not require downloading during the user's setup procedure?
I usually download file using following code:My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("url of the file","filepath to save the file")But recently I encountered a site that only allow file download if you click it from its site and not via direct downloading from vb.net code.How to download file from http server that requires a referral before allowing the download?
My program takes user input, replaces all spaces with "+", then inserts it into a search url for a specified web host. For example, the user enters:"How long is a foot?"
The generated URL (in this case I'm using dogpile.com) is:
i try to download multiple file + progressbar.. but its seems nothing happened and the file is not download.. my program just function like.. when the file was error.. it will download the latest file from webhost..
I am trying to download a file off my web server (easy) but the file its downloading is the updated version of the file running. I finally was able to program my automatic update software the program simply downloads a .txt file from my web server, reads it, and if the the version = (new version here) then download. If not, then go to another form. The problem I am getting though, is when the version is outdated, the file will go to download the new .exe and it gets and error saying "File already exists"
I guess that I'm not the first who ask this, but what is the easiest way to use threads in VB.NET? I mean, I need to download some string from a remote server and then to show that string in the GUI, so I have to use some callback function to call it in the main thread. I found different approaches for this, but all seems very difficult compared to Python where (with GTK) I used something like: gobject.idle_add(callback_function, parameters) and "callback_function" was executed in the main thread. How I do that in VB.NET?
I am trying to download a file from an FTP but i keep getting this error:
"Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined."
The code i'm using is:
Dim rfn As String = "/guildford/jobs.jd" Dim lfn As String = "C:web" Dim ftp As FtpWebRequest = CType(FtpWebRequest.Create(RFN), FtpWebRequest) Console.WriteLine("Downloading: " & RFN)
