I read the following question to download a web page whose contents is coded in UTF-8. The page is then converted into a byte array, while I'm using a String to read contents from the page.
I need to turn UTF-8 into Latin1/ANSI since that's what RichText and MessageBox seem to use (I'm getting funny characters).
Is there a more direct way to donwload a UTF-8 page and convert it into ANSI/Latin1?
Edit: When callig MessageBox, accented characters are not shown as expected:
Content = CStr(e.Result)
'Théâtre, Métro
MessageBox.Show(Content)
How would i put the contents of a webpage into a string?

My program so far reads a certain webpage's source code and places it in a textbox. This much has already been accomplished.
Now I need to pick certain strings out of the rather large amount of text data and have the lines stored in variables, but the trick of it is, the exact string is unknown. The exact function should be, that the code finds certain tags from the source code, say <td> and </td> and takes the string data in between those tags, what ever it may be.

I want to use the trade feed for my program to analyse the sentiment of the markets.
I used the browser control and the get element command but its not working.The problem is that whenever my browser starts to open the page I get java scripts errors.
Typically I'd post some code and ask how to do something. This time I don't even know where to start. I need to check if a webpage is accessable. We are using adobe connect, there's a webpage that you can check that will tell you if connect is up and running. How would i go about doing this?
View 4 RepliesI have a small project where I need to draw graphics over a WEB page.
To do this, I create a "ghost" form with a WebBrowser at the same location and size of my main form that is always displayed behind my main form.
When I set the TransparencyKey of my form's Panel to the main form's TransparencyKey, the panel shows the WEB page that sits behind the form. Yet, because this is a panel, I can draw anything over the WEB page
The only problem that I have is when my program needs to open child non-modal forms. When the user sets the focus back to the main form, the child form goes behind me main form, but it is still in from of "ghost" form.
Is there a way to "bind" the main form and the "ghost" form together, so that any other forms may only be completely on the back, or comletely on the front (never in between)?[code]...

View 11 RepliesI ran into an odd issue today while trying to get a web page up and running. At one point there is a sql select statement which basically selects one field from a table that has only one row of data. For some reason no rows are returned by the select statement when at the customer site from the web page.
The same select statement works on the same machine if pasted into a query window [SQL Express] and returns one row of one field as it should. The query works on my server from the same web page and also works on the other server I tested on. For some reason when ran at the customer site there is a delay of about 30 seconds and no data is returned.
There are several other queries in use at various times, same web site, same db, same server and all seem to work without issue but this one query is failing about 90% of the time, once in a while it returns a row. No errors are reported in either case. Using ADO recordset object, simple select field from table no where clause. Running under IIS7 from an ASPX file hitting a SQL Express database.
