I have been using the following Stream Reader code for over a year now to pull information from 3 websites w/ no issues. Recently my users are getting massive amounts of "Timeout" errors. I have opened a ticket w/ the IT department but they have not found any issues (we are experiencing off/on issues w/ our web traffic speeds in our department). Per the code I have the timeout set to 20 seconds but the Timeout error occurs in only a few seconds from the System.Net.WebException.
The current version of my application was using the WebClient object to download files from the internet and all was working well until some users reported that they were getting server timeouts. I looked into this issue and decided to move to the WebRequest object as it allows me to specify a Timeout value. The problem is, when using it synchronously, if I specify a timeout value of -1, I am worried that in the event of some weird server anamoly, my application would hang as it would be waiting for a response that isn't coming. So then I thought of using the WebRequest ansynchronously.
I have a text file that has different controls for text boxes. This text file controls the BackColor, BorderStyle, Font-Bold, Font-Size, Height, Width, ReadOnly, and TextMode a sample is below:
Alright so I have a webrequest on my program and it requests a login page, and I use the streamreader to read the webrequest and I set a textbox text as the text that I get from the site after the webrequest. The text I get is something like this:{"Code":null,"ConfirmationId ": 3023,"Description":null,"MessageType":"Success")I am wondering how do I get it to only get the text confirmation id (in this example it's 3023) and not the whole page.
how would I accomplish saving a large piece of data, using the Stream Reader for the Line-by-Line, while keeping the carriage return line feeds in there?
The bigger problem is that I can't seem to get everything involving using stream writer and reader working. If I start of with a .txt file already correctly formatted then I can display it in the list box. But adding data during run time is not proving successful.
im trying to populate a list box from a text file using the System.IO.StreamReader class and my code blows up right here:[code...]
The program dies at lstFilePreview.Items.Insert(Counter, ObjReader.Readline.ToString)and it gives me the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.
I've got an application that reads a XML file via a stream reader. The problem is I can't edit my XML file and save it when others are using the application that is using the XML file at the time. how can i get around this?
From few days I am doing efforts to read web pages using webbrowser control in my desktop application. But it is very slower than my expectations(because I want to read lots of pages in minutes and browser control reads almost one page in 5 to 10 seconds), what I need is to read two or three tags written in web page.
So finally I decided to use something, which can give me only source code of page. I think StreamReader will help me to read it. I am not sure if it is flaxible with my purpose, or something else is there which can give me only html source code of web page.
I have written this code to read html code, but it gives error.

I am downloading page data using the stream reader using readline.I want to concatenate each line into one long string for parsing The below line of code is not working: datajoined =dataline.Insert(datajoined.Length - 1, dataline.Length - 1)My inevitable goal here is to track stream data with a progress bar. But first I must learn to dload page data in chunks.
I'm trying to setup a simple app that reads a file and then writes the contents to another file using OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. Looking at the debbugger it looks like it's reading fine, I can see the data I want written. Towards the end of my code I get the following error message:"Illegal characters in path". I've researched this error. I'm not using any illegal characters such as /\? etc and the pathname contains all alpha characters. I'm pulling the test file from the C drive and trying to save it there as well.
Path: C:\Test.csv My code: Private Sub btnAppendData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAppendData.Click Dim Result As DialogResult Dim FileContents As String [Code] .....
I am trying to make my application read data from a file. Then save the data back. However I keep getting an error which says the file is still open so cannot be edited. I also read that there is an issue with the streamreader and streamwriter do not close the program straight away. I was wondering if anyone had a way around this or any alternative ideas. Heres my code so far!
Trying to fill listboxes from a .txt file, but I only get 1 line. How do I loop the stream reader until the Field(0) changes. My txt file looks like this: [code] The number goes into a combobox, the name into a label, and the rest into listboxes, so I I need all the Gross Pay for person 100 in a list box.I have a module that reads the file into an array PayRolls (), And so far this is my code for the combobox. [code]
I am new to Visual Basics and I am using Visual Basic 2008 express. I have been using video tutorial on line to learn VB and they are great in explaining what is happening the code vs. just looking at code. I think from what little I can find I would be using StreamWriter WriteLine and StreamReader readLine .I am using a couple of forms. I am looking for simple basic code to use a form as a way of modifying timer intervals and store the values in a single text file on separate lines.
Description: Form1: will contain the main code that will run. It will contain some timers. I want the timers to look in a text file for their intervals. Each timer would be on a different line. Example: Timer1 interval would be located on line 3 Timer2 interval would be located on line 6 Timer3 interval would be located on line 20
Form2: will contain 3 textboxes. This is where when I load form2 I will also read the same values from the text file to preload the text boxes. I will now be able to change the timer intervals as needed and press a button to update the text file. The update button will also reload the new timer settings on Form1. This is very similar to how a CNC Machine works with Parameter settings. This can be useful for storing many different settings for a form that a user can modify and be stored and reloaded next time the program runs.
I'm using stream reader to read some text(txt format) n show in textbox1. I want stop at the second last line to get the string.Below is my code:
path="c:dic.txt"Dim reader As New StreamReader(path)Do While reader.?? //how to instruct to stop when read until second last line,because i don't know how many lines in the text file??
I'm running some unit tests for a large VB.Net application I help maintain and am running into problems with tests timing out. The test run is set up so that there's no timeout limit on the overall test run, but a limit of 2 minutes per individual test. However, a couple of the tests take a lot longer than this to run, so we tried adding the timeout attribute to the test's declaration, i.e
<TestMethod(), Timeout(15 * 60 * 1000)> Public Sub DoSomething()
for a 15 minute timeout. However, the 2 minute timeout set in the test run properties seems to be taking precedence, even though it says that the timeout attribute should override it.
Currently I am saving data from my applications by saving a text file via a stream reader as a string. I have come to a problem. In my current application, I have an array of the following structure:
Does anyone at least have some related links on fetch requests and scraping?I am trying to implement the webrequest get and post methods. I am accessing a secure site that requires login authentication and was told that instead of sending a login request all the time; login to the site and capture the cookie and use this to send it in the header to get results from the page. In other words let us use google for example. Lets say google required u to login before searching for something. Now I login through my browser and leave the site logged in. Now I send a httwebrequest from my program that includes the cookie authentication details in the request header and get results for say ?param=sports. Now when I increment the page number like &page=3, I am still only getting page 1 results.[code]
I am posting data to my website, i have a Dim request As WebRequest = urlgoeshere After I post, it redirects to another page. How do I pull that url of the redirect?
Public Function ScreenScrapeHtml(ByVal url As String) As String Dim objRequest As WebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url) objRequest.Timeout = 1000 * 30
Why does this code works for the first few then gives timeout on all the rest ? VB removed, resolved like when i run it with say 50 threads, the first few work fine but then the rest after that all time out, i have tryed moving the ones that work to the bottom of the list but they still timeout after the first few are done.
