I am making an application that will save all the names of the movies in my "movies" folder on my computer. I am able to make a list of all the names quite easily, but how would it be possible for me to search The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) for the title of the movie, click on the link of the name of the movie and grab information of the movie off the imdb database (Run time, rating, and plot?)

I have sucessfully written in excel VBA. The idea is to used the textbox1_change event to find a match in column A of table and once it finds the record, return the value of column B as label1.text. [code] In VB 2008 it's a lot different. I have set up the form the same way with the textbox and labels. I have made a dataset with (1) table (Table1) with (2) columns. Lets call them column A and Column B.I have added the dataset as a binding source to the form and also a table adapter. I also have a standardized query made for the dataset with a very simple SQL statement "SELECT Column A, Column B from Table1"..In order to get the user input to start searching Column A I assume under the textbox_change event i would put something like: [code] I'm getting a bunch of errors of course. Would somepne be able to give me some direction?
View 3 RepliesUsing VB 2008 with Access database I'm trying to make a search field (txtSearch), but I'm not getting success with code in the button (cmdSearch). I'm making this manually, not using the Query Builder, and the result will be displayed in a datagridview (added to the form dragging the table from the Datasource Panel). So, the datagrid is already populated (with no SQL). What code must I use for the cmdSearch, to return the txtSearch.Text (or part of it) in the Datagridview? I've tried this: "Select Product, Price, Quantity FROM tblProducts WHERE Product LIKE txtSearch.Text & '*'" (but it doesn't work).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to search for text that is known to be in a TextBox.
Once it is found, I want to return the line number it was found on.
Also, I would like to know how to delete all blank lines from a TextBox.
These two problems have been plaguing me for the last 2 days.
I have the following problem where in VS2005 VB I am returning all text in a text file to a rich textbox for preview purposes. Once I have returned this I am searching for a specific word (sv_hostname) and I need it to return a different result (Server name Here)on the same line to a text box. For example: Test file contains lots of lines where one of the lines would look like this within the text file.
set sv_hostname �Server Name Here�
I want textbox1 to only show Server Name Here The user must then be able to modify this and append this to the text file/rich textbox.
My Code so far:
vb.net
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Dim ServerName As String
[Code].....

View 1 Repliesexcuse my stupidness, i'm fairly new to VB and i've only done a little bit with it before. Basically i am making a little application that i want to run on my machine. Standalone not via a web browser.I have a web page which is generated using php, there is no html code on the page simply a number, e.g. "9995" when you view source.
All i want to do is return this value from the web page (without actually opening the page in a browser) and display it in a text box in VB or store it as a variable that i can use later. point me in the correct direction or right keywords to research, or if you have a simple example that would be even better

View 1 RepliesI've just started developing web applications for the first time. Im developing an ASP.Net Website. Ive started transferring code over from my windows application and found a few errors. In my windows application I had a search function in a form where on click the text in a text box would search the first list box and print any matches in the second list box.

How do I go about fixing this or is there a different way of implementing a search function in an Asp.Net website?
