What I want is: To scan a website every 15 mins or so, (craigslist in this case), and email myself any new posts that come up. I know I need to use WebClient, but I never used that before. Another question would be how to only email when a new post is up and not receive the same email every 15 mins.

1. I have Combobox with 3 urls in there ( Facebook.com Tagged.com and Bebo.com )
2. I have a Form2 with webbrowser
3. I have a Button when clicked it should open up my form 2 and preview of the website which I selected in my combobox in form1
All I'm trying to do is when I select lets say facebook in my form 1 and click load it should open up my form 2 with facebook website in it.[code]Now when I click my button in form 1 it will load Form2 ( named Explorer1) but my form2 is not showing me facebook or tagged page for some reason

View 1 RepliesI have a ASP.NET 2.0 website created in C# that acts as a completely independent site and I am looking to integrate this into an existing ASP.NET 2.0 website created in VB.NET. Unfortunately I just don't know much about the server management side of ASP.NET yet so too much I'm unaware of when it comes to IIS configuration etc. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can go about integrating this? Basically I want to host it in a subdirectory from root so when you hit example.com/myindependantsite/ it will pull up my C# site.
One possible solution I came across mentioned just dropping the project folder into the root directory and setting up that directory as an application virtual directory in IIS? A few other random questions were small things like would my application relative links (~/for-example.aspx) stay relative to my root subdirectory if it's made into an application virtual directory? Just trying to get this running on their site but like I said it's completely independent so want to preserve my websites environment.
I have a program that reads a barcode scanner to populate a field of a database, I should say that that specific program is a standard application and I can't modify it.
The issue I am having is that the computer must have the focus on that program and in the capture screen for the barcode scanner to function properly. I would like for the PC to be able to do other things and at the moment the barcode is used it directed the scan to the proper window. The window for the program may be oppened but not necesarily have the focus.
I know how to catch the input from the scanner, but what can I do to send the data to the other program?
When i scan a image from my scanner it's scan properly if the file exist with same name programme show error it's any way to replace this name and save the properly.

View 5 RepliesBut, I'm trying to make a fairly simple program that will log into a website(for now that's all I want it to do).
Currently I have: A 2 Text Boxes, Web Browser, And a button.
I have the ID's of the Username and Password fields on the site, I just need to know how to get the info to the fields.
So I grab a source from an url in vb, and as expected it lists everything written in there. My interest lies in the info that resides outside of the tags in the code. And that stuff gets updated daily, so they're not static strings eitherm here, I've been able to filter out all the tags, and grab everything outside them, and show em in a messagebox, but somehow it picks up every line change, that's essentially an empty character, and lists those as well. We hit our heads together with a couple of friends but we couldn't work out why.Also, I've tried modifying it to find different stuff, but somehow everytime I try something different the system gets screwed up and it finds no results. But that's just because I'm such a buffoon with the code.

I want to make a program that will submit to a website that I have made the only problem is i have not made the website able to submit. Can someone direct me toward a html/javascript tutorial or something that will show me how to make a form on website so I can submit to the website with my program?

View 1 RepliesI can log into a website great using the webbrowser function then have the fields filled in and the submit/login pressed, i am now trying to do it so i don't need to use the webbrowser function, ideally what i intend doing is grab a piece of information once logged in.i have searched a lot and i know i need to use webRequest and webResponse for this, the part i'm having trouble with is how to deal with posting the actual data to the website, in the webbrowser way you can see the input fields filled in for you but i'm not sure how to post the data this way?
View 2 RepliesI am using Richard L. Grier's Enhanced Serial Port dll to read input from a serial port barcode scanner I notice that the datareceived event fires only once per barcode scan, but the delegate sub fires twice per barcode scan. Once for 1st half of Barcode , 2nd for 2nd part of barcode This makes it hard to capture the full barcode so it can be passed to routines in my vb.net 2008 windows application In Richard's example 'Test Enhanced Port' program he sends it to a textbox using .selectedtext and it works fine Richards Delegate code ......................

All I've been able to do is create the form. We have to get information off of a website and load certain information back into the textboxes on our form.
Assignment 6 - Text Parsing Many applications require you to extract information from a block of text. We will be using this heavily in the project. This project is designed to give you some practice extracting information out of text files. You will need to open up a file, search the file for some specific content, and then copy that content and place it on screen.
Go to Jobs.com and select a state that starts with the same letter as your last name (if there is no state that starts with the same letter, use the second letter, then the third letter, etc.). For example if my name was 'John Byway', since there was no B or Y, I would pick a state starting with W - either Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, or Wyoming.
The idea is you want to extract all the jobs information out of the page. We want to put the jobs names in a combo box, so the use can pick any of the jobs. Ideally, this would also show the information about each job. You don't need to do that. However, you do need to extract the information and put it on the screen (When you load the next job, the old job information will be lost, and you will be left with the information about the last job loaded)
Tasks
1. Go to the above address, view the source in the browser, copy and paste it into a text file. You do not need to access the Source of the web page within your application.(in IE go to View / Source; In FireFox go to View / Page Source)
3. Extract each job title and place the name in the Combo box.
4. Find and extract the following fields. Note, some jobs may not list all of these. In that case, get as many as are presented.
a. Date
b. Title of job
c. Company
d. Location
[code].....
Indicate on screen how many jobs you found. Note, you only need to look on the first page of jobs?
