For the past year-ish i have pretty much mastered the httpwebrequest function of programatically logging in to 1 of my websites to retrieve data, while it works well i was thinking about the webbrowser function, would i be better sticking to the webrequest route? it looks like the webbrowser requires much less code which is good lol can the webbrowser do everything httpwebrequests can?

i'm using a timer to open a database and drop in a few fields of info, such as date, time and 3 traces.
the timer interval is set to 1000msec, but after its been running for a day or so, i've looked into the data and i can see there are periods where no info has been logged. sometimes its as little as a couple of seconds, and other times its upto a couple of minutes.
I'd like to create a new file everyday for a logging application to minimize size when accessing. I'm after a couple of pointers with respect to when to create the file, and what checks to do etc.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to know if there are other ways to write a submission program (submitting urls or pad xml to directories, submission sites, blogs) other than using the webBrowser. I've evaluated some shareware programs that submit urls or data very quickly, like 100s in a matter of mins. I couldn't write a program using a webBrowser because it might take 15 secs just to load the url. How are they writing the code??

View 2 RepliesLately I've had to do a bit of programming in VB .NET. It hasn't been too difficult, but the lack of proper documentation or good tutorials has been annoying me. I'm used to finding a lot of relevant info when I google a programming question, or term, or method name - but it's been more difficult with VB .NET. Anyone know of any good tutorial/documentation sites for VB .NET?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a security program. One of its features is that it blocks inappropriate web sites. I might need help determining which sites are bad and which ones are good. If I could 'read' every work that is displayed in the browser then I could tell, but that may come later.
So, I'm looking for some kind of hook that will allow me to cancel the site if needed. It should be able to still be hooked in Safe Mode, as well... I'm sure that this is going to be an easy one!
I'm creating an API for a particular website. This API will be in the form of a referable DLL. I've tried the normal HttpListner but it errors when getting any data that is through https (basically anything specific about the currently logged in user). I also can't log in using it. My next attempt involved a hidden webbrowser but that is just as hacked up as it sounds (and very glitchy seeing as the WebBrowser likes to interrupt processes that are currently running with its events). I need a system that works and is fast and efficient (I know, I know, kind of a oxymoron). Does anybody know how to do this?I'm using VB.net so any .net code examples are acceptable.
View 2 RepliesSituation: Trying to learn Visual Studio and VB. I have been using Expression web to build web sites for several years. But not alot of programing within them.I have started a project using Visual Studio 2010 Pro and am working in VB. I am converting one of my sites from Expression over to VS and want to start using the Code Behind model for all of my web sites on this one and all future sites. I have a simple form that works on my old site but in the new site the I have no idea as to how to set up the Namespace's (System.Text and System.Net.Mail). Does it go on the page with the form or on the VB page? If someone has a good example of how to set up a form for emailing the results I would really appriciate looking at a copy of it.I use VB as I am the most familiar with it. I have no experience yet with Java or PHP.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to scrap multiple sites for data. thus i need asynchronus request. funny thing is my code brings the data back from the page but it doesnot show on my browser. I mean a msgbox will show the html content but when I try to update a div with the data nothing happens
RequestState Class
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Net
[Code].....
I have about 100 websites that I am going to be accessing to scrape some data from (weather, time, etc). When I go to code these babies there will be an abundance of sub routines that I will be creating. They each are going to be accessing pretty much the same type of data.
Should I put them into a Class some how and acces them that way or should I just use Subs and then call them into the Document Completed section of my web browser to run the code? Still sort of confused on the whole Class vs. Sub Routine thing.
