Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
If Not ListBox1.Items.Count < 2 Then

1. User enters 1-3 websites they wish to monitor
2. User clicks go next to textbox with data entered, then button and a copy of form refered to as browse is created.
3. Form refered to as browse is directed to the url refered to on the form refered to as monitor, in the associated textbox(passed as a parameter to copyForm)
4. A timer is used to refresh the webpage every 10 seconds
What I wanted to happen was the program turn the associated picturebox in form1 green if page is loaded, and black is loading.

If DateTimePicker1.Value.Year <= DateTimePicker2.Value.Year Then 'dtp2 = expiry date
If DateTimePicker1.Value.Month <= DateTimePicker2.Value.Month Then
MsgBox("Expiry Date Correct!")
Else
MsgBox("Expiry Date incorrect!")
End If
End If
How would I get it to check the date? Datetimepicker1 is the current date, while Datetimepicker2 is the expiry date.
I am new to VB.Net and am just learning.. I have a DataGridView in a winform project and have two columns "PO_Created", "PO_Date" (PO_Date being a check box) I would like to know how to have PO_Date populate a date when the check box is ticked.Dragging a check box and a text box on the form and placing the code below in the checkbox control
If CheckEdit1.Checked = True Then
TextBox1.Text = System.DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString
Else
TextBox1.Text = " "
End If
is what I want but I don't know how to do this in a datagrid if someone could give me a hand on this topic that would great.

View 4 RepliesMy code requires the webbrowser to be up so I can sendkeys something onto a website form. For some reason, changing the attribute doesn't work with this website. When I'm doing other task, such as web browsing or something else, the following code works occassionally.
AppActivate("xyz")
WebBrowser1.Focus()
Is it possible to sendkeys to a website form in the background? This would be the ideal solution. What other command do I need to consistently pull up my application into the foreground?
I am using a WebBrowser-Control to fill in a webform and then click at a button, this currently results in a standard Download File Dialog (you get these if you download a file using internet explorer), but instead, I have to catch this file and save it automatically with a by me defined name to a specific folder.I am trying to code a little application in vb.net which download the Export-file from my wordpress-blog, and I want to do this completely without user-interaction.Currently everything works, except the downloading of the file.I tried to catch it with the event System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.Navigating(ByVal Object, ByVal System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs) but I don't see where to download the file from?

What Im making is like a face book and tagged login from my app
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
I'm downloading a file from my website using WebClient.DownloadFile(),I'm wanting to do it asynchronously, so my UI stays responsive, that would require me creating an array of web clients, is that bad practice? Or is it acceptable?I have looked into FileWebRequest, but thought WebClient looked easier to implement.
View 10 RepliesThis is the Download file code which is 100% working when i will give directlink of file
And in this case progress bar is not working anymore and program hangs too let me know what is the problem with above code and how i will correct it
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.

I'm unsure of how realistic it is for this to work but I know a lot is possible in vb. I have an application called WindowsPRO available from my filesharewebsit This application is intended for those in school to easily be able to do several daily tasks such as calculate and use notepad within one window. I have been working on this application in part with the help of MSDN.Back OT, currently when I click the "Check for updates" I use process.start to open my website. Not very complicated is it. What I want to do is open a form in whichchecks for the update from my site. Whenever I upload a file, I'll upload it as a .zip onto my site and always name it like: "Application name v1.0" or whatever the version number is. That is the only thing that changes.
When the user presses the check for updates, I want to checkhe site in background for a "higher" version number. If my application is v1.2, I want it to check for anything higher than 1.2. So if I have on the site 1.2.2, or 1.3, I want it to check for the highest number version and download it.My question simply is, how do I check for a "higher version" from a website?
How can I check the return code of a web site from my code before redirectin my client there using response.redirect? I don't want to send them to my virtual directory unless the document is there.

Im building a little program to automate downloading of orders for work but having a few problems.One of the pages has 2 Radio buttons on it, One says "download all" and the other "Download orders for selected dates"Now the radio button i can select fine, It goes to the "download orders for selected dates" one nicely but im having trouble putting the dates in on its own.
The "to" date is ok as it will always be the sate you run the program on so have used the "today.date" string and it puts this in ok. But with the from field i need to be able to select this.
I am using a datetime picker box on my form and can get it to put in the date in the box on the website, But to do this i have to click on the datetimepicker and click on the date, It doesnt already select this.
I would like it so i select the date first and then click my Login button, It goes off to the website and fills in all the details and then the next popup i get is where to save the file.So is there a way for the date time picker to put the current selected date in automatically?

There's an website which lists the manufacturer's of the items they deal with. Upon clicking on the manufacturer link we get the relevant list of items. There are around 60 manuf. and each manuf makes around 500 items.
The complete list of items of an particluar manufacturer is split in pages and displayed on the web page, one page at a time and also links to the next pages.
There are around 4 to 5 items newly added weekly for each manufacturer.
So what i wanted was , first the complete data must be stored in the database and displayed to the user , and later only the updates should be displayed to the user.
For this, what approch i thought is, opening each and every page of the website and then extracting the data form the site and storing in the database. Then again whenever user wants an update , again extacting the complete data from the website and comparing it with the old data and displaying the update.
I have built a Windows Service and this runs great but what I would like to do is have this service check a website every 5 mins and ensure that a status code of 200 (Success) is returned.
checking aspect and the timing side of it.
I have an ASP.net 3.5 website and I am using vb.net in VWD 2008 Express, I am also using MS SQL Server 2008 Express, I used ajax tabs and a textBox characters counter control developed by [URL]..The database is attached with MS SQL Server Management Studio Express and the files are stored in the SQL default "Data" folder.
The whole project's code and forms are stored in a folder in my E drive. I need to hand the whole project to another coworker who have to finish it, please describe in steps how can i make my website portable (like i can put it all in a folder that he can carry around in his flash disk).One more thing, I already finished my side of the project, I need to ship it out to this other programmer.
Can anyone suggest something like a: Checklist or Must Do list to achieve this?PS: I have had a problem trying to move the project from one server to the other, the project seems to look for the dlls of the AJAX control and the textBox counter where i originally unzipped the folders in which they cam in, which i think was on my desktop, although when i added those controls to the Tools tab, i created a new tab, then i choose the dll from the where i unzipped the controls source code, aint that enough?
i have a form that opens every time the application is launched to welcome the user. I have created a checkbox control with the label "Don't display this again".When the check box is checked, i dont want the form to be displayed when the application is launched again. When the checkbox is not checked, i want the form to be displayed as usual.
View 8 RepliesHow do you check to see if a form is already loaded, ie if it is already loaded bring to the front else load the form.
View 3 Repliesadding basically just the current date and time to a textbox/label or something like that? I have looked at coding but everyone seems to do it in such a complex way. Is there not a simple way of doing this? I don't want to use the date time picker as I don't want a user to be able to select the date or time.
