View 1 RepliesI know how to extract an entire page source into VB.NET, but once I do that how do I make VB.NET search the text and return a specific vlaue that is not constant?

the text is always constant but the price is not - how do I make VB.NET return the price?

View 15 RepliesI'm looking for an efficient means of extracting an html "fragment" from an html document. My first implementation of this used the Html Agility Pack. This appeared to be a reasonable way to attack this problem, until I started running the extraction on large html documents - performance was very poor for something so trivial (I'm guessing due to the amount of time it was taking to parse the entire document).[code]...

I've been programming in VB.NET 2005, 2008 and now 2010 for almost 2 years. Just casual little applications, nothing big.In this project I need to parse links from a web page, it doesn't quite work though, it parses the names only and no links.I'll give you my code, let's say for a random page:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Multiline = True
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http:www.buyfixuse.com")
[code]....
If I activate this function in my application instead of links to the two blog posts on that website, it only gives out the text that is related to these links - (more...)

View 1 RepliesWhen investigating effective methods of documenting our VB .NET project, by experimentation I discovered that I can make a comment like'See the file at file://path_to_file and I can then ctrl-click on this link to bring up the file in a new tab.

I would like to make a system of documentation consisting of an html pages that link to code, and vice versa.

I tried using it and to get it to work I had to add some code to my project:

I didn't like the fact that I had to use the MSHTML stuff (cause I think IE uses it also, and we all know that IE sucks :) ) and that I had to add code the make it work.Don't want to start a browser-war thread so neglect my last remark.Is there a different (/better) approach of parsing html-pages in VB.Net.Basically what I'm trying to do is get all the links (<a> tags) and embeds (<object> tag) on a page.
My application is intended to crawl a URL page and extract all possible links from the page.It works fine for a certain URL but with another it keeps causing problems.

I am using visual basic 2005. I found on the web the following function that extracts HTML from webpages. It is very useful but unfortunately it does not work with redirected pages. That is, when I put in it a URL of a redirect page it gives me nothing or error. I added to it ".AllowAutoRedirect = True" but still it did not work. I wonder how to make it work for redirected pages.
