Dec 31, 2010
I am trying to get source code from a webpage. Webbrowser control is giving me the required information that I am looking for. But I want to use httpwebrequest but its giving me different source than webbrowser documenttext.
I am trying to get the source code from a webpage. The WebBrowser control is giving me the information that I am looking for. However, I want to use HttpWebRequest, but its giving me different source code than the WebBrowser DocumentText. How can I get the same source code as WebBrowser using HttpWebRequest?
HttpWebRequest Code: Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url) request.KeepAlive = False request.Timeout = 10000 Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse() Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()) Dim sourcecode As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
I'm trying to get the HTML from a frame in a website which is loaded into a WebBrowser in my application.
I have this WebBrowser so that the user can login easily by putting the username and password on the login form of the page so that i can get the HTML code from the protected page.
However, i have to read the frame code while the WebBrowser being on the main page because if i enter the frame, it redirects me to the main page again so there is no way of reading the frame code by entering it.
So i don't know how to read the frame HTML code of a website[url]...
This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td> <input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden"> <img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work"> </td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?
[URL] but then with the option to provide username & password. I have managed to do this with the webbrowser, first logging in then go to webpage and get source code but this takes much longer than just getting the source code...
Is there any way to do this? I found this:
[URL]
I tried with &username=...&password=... in the URL but it didn't work
Way to space out the source code of a web page, having each tag on one line, without having to search for each tag ending and then making a new line after.
I am trying save a value from an input tag in some HTML source code. The tag looks like so:
<input name="user_status" value="3" />
I have the page source in a variable (pageSourceCode), and need to work out some regex to get the value (3 in this example). I have this so far: [Code] Which works fine most of the time, however this code is used to process source code from multiple sites (that use the same platform), and sometimes there are other attributes included in the input tag, or they are in a different order, eg:

How to get source/HTML code of the web page that is shown in WebBrowser1 when I click a button? I would like it to be written in Notepad or eventually in new form..
I'm writing a program in VB.net that gets the source code of a web page with a video on it. it then uses regular expressions to isolate the download link of that video. then it uses "httpwebrequest" and "httpwebresponse" to download the video. my problem arises when certain sites have a page where you have to click continue in order to get to the video page. [URL].. called "The.Matrix.Reloaded.2003.mp4" so i tell my program to get the source code for the url [URL]..but it cant find the video's download link because it's searching for the file in the "continue" page's source code. you can see what i am saying by going to that website above and viewing the source code by right clicking on it. and then click continue and do the same when the video appears and you'll notice that the file is only there in the second one.
So my question is how can i get the source code for the page that the video is playing on and not the page where i have to click continue?
