I know that .NET has several classes to do that, but sometimes I need to download a webpage that requires login, like a forum. I do not want users to fill in their sername/password in my application, because I know I'll get a lot of complaints about that. WinInet handles cookies automatically (if the user is logged in with Internet Explorer), but WebClient, HttpWebRequest and WebRequest don't.In my VB6 application I show a messagebox, telling the user that the webpage can't be downloaded the 'normal' way, but if they want, that the application can still download the webpage if they are logged in with IE.This is the VB6 code slightly modified. It works fine until it gets to the line:
vb.net
iResult = InternetReadFile(hInternet, sBuffer, BUFFER_LEN, lReturn)
I think something is wrong with the InternetReadFile declaration.
So i am able to use the function to get a webpages source, however when i messagebox it out, its not the same as if i go to a normal browser, and go to "view source"
I'm looking for a way to "pick out" a url string from a webpages source. The source always has a unique identifier for the url. Here is the complete line from the webpages source where the url appears.
Been working on a Web Browser in VB 2008 Express, and so far things have been going good. I have run into a little problem though. I have a menu bar at the top of the browser as normal and one of the items selects is "View" and then under that "Page Source".
Now, i have added the following code and it works as expected but one problem. When the box opens to display the web page source it has no scroll bars, minimize or maximize buttons to manipulate the page.
Private Sub PageSourceToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PageSourceToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim pagelSource As String = WebBrowser1.DocumentText MsgBox(Me.WebBrowser1.DocumentText) End Sub
I think the problem is that I am using "MsgBox" . Would there be a better way to do this?

I have to extract the page source of a webpage which I can do so like this:
CODE:
The above code works fine on most of the websites I have tried to extract page source from but for some reason it is failing to extract the html contents of few websites like these where the message posted by a user is nowhere to be seen? The webpage in question is this: [URL]
Is there something I have missed or is it due to forum protection etc which is preventing the vb application from extracting the whole page source?
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 am working on an app that requires searching the source code for a printer's web page for some information. I have used several methods to retrieve the source code (WebClient.DownloadString, HttpWebRequest.GetResponse) and in all cases recover only a portion of the web page. I can use View Source on the webpage and it is a 14K file, but using the VB functions I only get 5K of it. In these cases the data stops just prior to a <div class="tabBox"> tag containing data specific to the printer. I have also added code to pause the app, thinking that maybe it needed time for the page to complete before returning the code. Any ideas what I need to do to get the whole page?

I'll be able to get some advice and help with regards to my question. Basically I am trying to achieve the task of downloading source code from a website say forum then using a simple parser technique remove the metadata from the uploaded data and store it into the database.
I know how to download information from a website by using the following code
When i use the FtpPutFile() of Wininet.dll to upload the files, there is no error returned (hence the function returns 'true'), but the file on the ftp server is just a partail image. Hence the upload process is not completed but the ftpputfile() cannot trap that. Any reason why? Or how to get trap those errors?
I'm trying to find a simple way of checking user stats via FTP, wininet seems to be the best option.How do I get the output from the command though? [code]
How do you access a web page's source code without downloading the file? i.e., downloading a .php file generally wouldn't work - I want to access the code that it would return if I was using a browser.
I want to download the same information which is obtained when we right click view page source in browser. I want to do this either in vb.net or perl
I need it for google image search result webpage.When that page is saved then html code is not same as view page source info.tags for images are absent. [code]...
I wanted to ask you something which is bugging me for a while. I work an IT dept at a local bank and I got instructions to make an application which should retrieve some financial info from a financial banking stats page.
The webpage can be accessed through[URL] and the info can be seen in the web browser but I cannot extract them because the info is not available in the source code of the page.It seems it's generating the info dynamically using a jsquery.js file.
I was wondering if it's possible to make an app which uses some cache or something (I guess the the page is saved temporary somewhere on the disk for the current session) to retrieve that data in vb.net?
