View 3 RepliesI have an asp.net webpage that only contains a textbox and a button. The user submits their email address using this webpage.What I am trying to do now is take the information submitted by the user and go to another website. Where my "website/program" gives the different website the entered email address, and clicks the submit button.
If I where to physically go to the different website, there would be a textbox to enter the email. But since I am accessing the website from my page "behind the scenes" I cant manually enter their email address.Is it possible to do this, if so how? Also, my code behind is in VB.
I wanted to make a program where it will retrieve data from websites I use regularly and display important parts to me such as my horoscope, friends online, new emails etc. I'm just having a problem figuring out how to get visual basic to display the website information.
View 4 RepliesI have had a few programming courses in college, but I'm far from a VB expert. I work at a bank and I want to copy information off of webpages and put it into an Excel worksheet. I created a macro that automatically opens up Internet explorer -- but really what I need is a subroutine (or a method) that copies information from 1.1Million records / screens and places the information into MS Excel.There are 1.1M records, so ideally-- I like it to copy all information over a weekend and come in on Monday and be done. At the very least, I would like a macro that can run off of a shortcut and copy all information on a webpage and puts information into each respective cell. Ie. copies the name field and puts into the name cell in Excel... address field into the address cell in Excel.
View 5 Replieson my form i have a button and five textboxes... when i click the button it takes me to a website. on this website is a list of five items. i want to take these five items and place them in the 5 textboxes. up to now what i have been doing is highlighting the first item in the list on the website, right clicking and using the copy feature, then going back to the vb form and pasting the first item in textbox1... then go back to the website and highlight item two... return to the form and paste in textbox2.. then the same procedure for the next three items
is there a way to highlight all five items from the website, right click, select copy and then paste the information into the 5 textboxes on the form... one in each of the textboxes provided without doing it one at a time

Not sure if this is possible at all. I was hoping somebody could help point me in the right direction. Right now im not quite sure what to search for or what this would be called. Basicly I was wondering if it is possible to design a application in vb.net 2008 that could search a website for specific information.

I am writing an app which gets information from a website. Basically I load the webpage into a webbrowser control and parse the document text for what I need.
My problem is: I have a German version of windows. The webpage returned has the German version of the webpage. I require the English version but there is no way of specifying the language in the URL, so it must be picking up the default language of my operating system. How can I override this, is there a property of the Webbrowser control which I can set?
I want to extract some information from a web site (Bloomberg). This side has a search textbox with a onKeyUp event that, as far as I can understand, uses AJAX to create a table. Is it possible to insert some text in the textbox and then get the table created with AJAX? Given the source code of the page with the tabled already AJAXed (If you understand what I want to say here), I can easily retrieve the table. I just need to get the source code with the table already on it.

My university has a website that students can use to check stuff like their lesson schedules, latest grades, exam times, etc. Just general information about you and your study (after you have logged in of course).For interested, this is the website (not much use without a login obviously, but still): [URL]I have been thinking lately that it would be nice to have a desktop application that could give me the same information. However, I have absolutely no idea how that would work, and whether or not it is even possible. I mean, technically it should be possible for me to get the information (how else does the website get it) provided it is not secured (even when using the correct login details). I am sure the website communicates with a database somewhere. Does that mean I could theoretically also communicate with the database (probably: read from it only, not write) for example by executing queries?If that is possible, how do I figure out which queries to use for the different pieces of information? Obviously I don't know the details of the database so I can't just send a random query and expect it to work...

I've created a simple licensing system for a friend who has created visual basic programs which he sells at a few dollars each (they're speciality programs).The licensing system is coded in PHP (I'm a PHP coder), and the system requires the user to input their license key upon start up, if there is not already an activated key (which is created in a .txt doc)

View 7 RepliesI used a web browser to read the text from a certain website, but I hated because its kind of slow, especially if the website has images. Is there anyway to get rid of those images ? I just want to get all the text for whatever website I visit. For example let's say I want to read all the text for this forum [URL], how can I do that, and by the way I don't any Html codes or anything like that, I just want straight texts.

View 1 RepliesI'm tryign to read a specific attribute from a xml website using this code:
'this is the url im trying to read, tmpIn is a string that complete the url:
Dim url As String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=" & tmpIn & "&output=xml"
Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(url)

The problem is tmpIn takes diferents values (string) when the function is used and sometimes this works, and othertimes it gives an error (Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 9, position 15.), but is not because of the url, is when it tries to read the coordinates...

Well i hate Web browser, sometimes I use this code to check if the document completed and it stops there for ever.
PHP
While MyBrowser.ReadyState <> WebBrowserReadyState.Complete Application.DoEvents() End While
Sometimes it stops on that code and I don't know why!!!So is there any other method to read a text from a website, or if the code i am using is wrong, whats the right one ? I use this code to check if the document completed loading.
