VS 2008 Reading Webpage Source And Filtering String Data?
Oct 28, 2009
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 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?
I'm trying to read the soruce code of a web page. Specifically an ebay page which shows sold items which have been paid for [URL]
I can read the page source ok but I get the source code of the login page. obviously reading it into a text box does not give me the option to login. how I can get the correct source code
heres the code Code: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest =
I am trying to create a program which does something similar to a function in excel but with increased functionality. What I need to know for this is how to get the program to search a webpage's source code for a specific string and unfortunately I have no idea how to even begin going about this.
I'm building a vb project using vb 2008 and I am trying to get a specific data from the source of a webpage. I am now trying to have the vb project access the below source of the webpage [URL] and retrieve the word "Dublin" from the code from the following line: </tr><tr><td class="s7 li ou"><a href="dorf1.php?newdid=106467">Dublin</a></td>
The word "Dublin" should be stored in the string villagename1 (I will use that string several times later in the project) and it should at NO time open a IE page as to make it as invisible as possible.

Ok I was wondering how can I grab the source code from webbrowser1. The problem is that I cant find this line of code in the source code. I cant only find it if I highlight what I want and do a right click and look for the source code. I heard is was like a hidden part of the source code. How canI implement that in my program?
I need to get some parts of the source code (mainly product characteristics) from the web site and insert in my database:I need to get some parts of the source code in my db, which are the product characteristics and the it contains its value
Example of what i need is : </div> <div class="clear"></div>

Is there any way to do this? I found this:
[URL]
I tried with &username=...&password=... in the URL but it didn't work
I am pulling different information from the same file at two different times: 1) The first time, I pull information that is inserted into a combobox. I need to use the combobox as a filter for when I pull the information a second time. 2) I pull different information from the same file, and it is outputted into a datagridview table. I already have a filter in place when the information is pulled the second time, and I was wondering if I could add to that filter or if I have to make another filter? The filter (or filters) will be used to filter the information in the datagridview before it is outputted in a chart.
This is the code for binding the combobox to the information
