Automate AdWords In .NET?
Dec 18, 2009
I am using AdWords for advertising my products. But in a last couple of months number of products have doubled so I don't have enough time to optimize AdWords campaigns for all of them. Some campaigns have thousands of keywords so I am looking a way to automate my AdWords campaigns.
I know about AdWords API and client libraries. I have been investigating them for some time and they are not so easy to use. I want to focus more on optimizing my AdWords campaigns, and not on communication with AdWords server. Does anyone know about some VB.NET library that would allow me to download my AdWords data, investigate it, modify it and then upload modifications back on AdWords server?

Working with dynamic button. So if i have 5 buttons created dynamicly, i can get alot of information from the button click of that button. You click a button on this app, it will show the name of the button.
But now I want, lets say button 4 to click at 4:45 pm today. Normally I would do something like compare a string to "4:45", and when true, then button 4.Perform_Click.
But button 4 is dynamic, so how do I call that button in my code. How can I address it. I know it will be there when the program is running, I just don't know how to get to it in code.
Now I do have the button names in a database, so I can get the name that I want from there. Just not sure how to tell it, "Do a perform click on button 4" The code below is my test bed, so If you click the main button, it will create a button, and a timer. Click the button that was created, and it will show the button name.

I want to code some thing up that logs you into a site and automatically posts to it.
I heard you need to use httpwebrequest but I've seen literally almost every tutorial on the subject and I am still super lost.
Also, is it possible to automate the built in web browser? I coded a semi-automatic program in the past but I want something automated.

I use the following vb.net function to purely save Word documents (no text input whatsoever, I'm only interested in mass creation of empty word documents at the moment):[code]The OFDD variable is the name of a folder browser vb component, and its SelectedPath property combined with the cname and acctype parameters provide me with the name of the Word document I want to create and save. Here are the declarations of the counter, wordDoc and wordApp variables:[code]The wordDoc variable is assigned to a Document object by use of the second line of code in the subroutine createDoc. However, it appears that at the 83rd time that I'm trying to retrieve a document object and assign it to wordDoc I receive an exception stating that "Command failed" . I can tell that it's the 83rd time I enter the function because in my catchblock I print the value of counter in a message box, right after printing details about the received exception and right before I release my used resources and end the process.
Worried about whether my system has limitations related to MS Word automation, I created another Visual Studio project (a Console project, this time), referenced the Microsoft.Interop.Office.Word namespace and wrote the following simple module:[code]Which works perfectly. Checking my filesystem, I see 150 word files created in "C:WordTester". [code]

I have been attempting to automate a process in a webbrowser control. When I attempt to fill out the form and submit, I get a false negative response (meaning all the data in the fields are correct but I am getting an incorrect response back from what I should be getting). I have determined that this problem is due to the fact that when I manually type out the data in the input fields a javascript is being fired. I know that you are able to invoke the javascript, but as I have no real knowledge about javascript and the script is rather complex I am stuck.
A temporary solution for me has been to use SendKeys, but this is no real solution at all. If the window loses focus, the entire process goes out the window. I cannot just use the .SetAttribute or .InnerText methods for the elements in the window.
I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with WatiN but I have used it recently while looking for other means to do what I need to do here. Watin works, but instead of allowing me to use an embedded browser object it shells new browser windows. Anyhow, with WatiN I am able to minimize or hide the browser window and the code will still execute. This leads me to believe that there is a way to simulate keypress events in a browser window while making sure that the specific element is the active element.
I have searched all over the internet for this (but am sure I overlooked a few things in frustration) and have yet to find a solution that works for me.

I am developing an automation tool which is reading the file path from an Excel workbook and after launching the application I am firing print job using SendKeys.SendWait() for Ctrl+P and Enter key. Now the Problem is, I am facing synchronization issue for launching the application and handling the print procedure keys.Sometimes Applications are launching little late(like Excel and MsWord files), so at that time I am not able to find till how long I have to wait for a successful launch of the Application. Anybody have any Idea how to check this waiting time till how long I should wait to fire CTRL+P and then after getting PrintDialog ENTER button ?

trying to automate some manual tasks. The task to access a web page (asp) login and then get some details from the site. The challenge is that the home page after login is build of 3 frames. when i see the page view source from the edit menu all i see are frame names. Once i right click on each frame and view source i am able to see the complete source - variables javascript function etc. The following code helps me to navigate :
vb.net
Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.Application")
Dim s As String[code]....
After this the page has been logged in. Now to proceed further i have to click a "image" object.
1) I tried qualifying the image like ie.Document..........item("img1").click this doesn't work
2) I tried calling the javascript function directly
ie.Document.all.Item("frame1").Document.parentwindow.execScript "JS_WGorUsers (funcname)", "javascript"
The 1st option gives a run time error and 2nd option says access denied. (if i login manually i am able to click the image.

My program is composed of two forms. First form application reads binary files and then modifies it and finally writes to a file. My second form application reads the file outputted by the first form application and then modifies it and writes to a file.
My question is this: is there a way to automate the program so that the program executes the first form application first and when the first form application was done it executes the second form application because it needs the file outputted by the first form application. I would like to eliminate the user control.

im trying to automate entering information onto a printer web interface. I was sucessfully in creating a problem for one particular model printer but not another(differnet manufactor).
HTML button code:
<input type="button" class="w10pt" style="width:136px;display:block;font-weight:700;" value="Login" onclick="location.href='/start/login.htm?arg1=1'">
I tried:
theElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
For Each curElement As HtmlElement In theElementCollection
If curElement.GetAttribute("value").Equals("Login") Then[code].....
it doesnt work .I read this in another post:
"There are several possible approaches; you can try to identify something other than the id, such as the element's name, class, tag name, etc. Another approach is to identify a nearby element, whether it's a sibling, child, parent, etc. that is easily identified (it has an id, or is in some other way unique) and get to the element that you want relative to the element you know you can find. For example, maybe the element is the only child of a </div> tag or a </span> tag that does have an id." So this is the parent to that code:
<div align="center" style="padding:5px;border-style:solid;background:#ccc;border-color: #000;border-width:1px 1px 0px 1px;"><input type="button" class="w10pt" style="width:136px;display:block;font-weight:700;" value="Login" onclick="location.href='/start/login.htm?arg1=1'"></div>[code].....
The site has other buttons that i need to click, so if i can figure this one hopefully i will be able to get the other ones.

I am looking to download several files from several FTP sites. Most of the time these files are all present by 08:00, but occasionally they are not there until a little later.Currently we have a bunch of excel sheets where the user goes into each and clicks a button which connects to the relevent ftp sites and downloads the files, performs some manipulation on them and then reports back to the user if the files exist, are empty, or if all is well.I am looking to redesign this, and was thinking I would encompass this within a Windows service which would have some sort of timer functionality which would start at about 7am, and end when all the files were downloaded whereby it would 'sleep' till the next business day.On the task completion it would send an email giving the information that was present in the current excel spereadsheets.
One thing with this is how often to poll the ftp sites to see if the files are there. I would ideally like to poll about once every 15 minutes or 1/2 hour, but if the user knows the file is present then they want to be able to invoke my process.One way of accomplishing this was to make the service a WCF windows service, so that it would run normally, and then if the user sends a request for amanual override, then the service would ignore its timer and run the process then an there.

Im building a little program to automate downloading of orders for work but having a few problems.One of the pages has 2 Radio buttons on it, One says "download all" and the other "Download orders for selected dates"Now the radio button i can select fine, It goes to the "download orders for selected dates" one nicely but im having trouble putting the dates in on its own.
The "to" date is ok as it will always be the sate you run the program on so have used the "today.date" string and it puts this in ok. But with the from field i need to be able to select this.
I am using a datetime picker box on my form and can get it to put in the date in the box on the website, But to do this i have to click on the datetimepicker and click on the date, It doesnt already select this.
I would like it so i select the date first and then click my Login button, It goes off to the website and fills in all the details and then the next popup i get is where to save the file.So is there a way for the date time picker to put the current selected date in automatically?
