I need to create a VB.net app that automatically reads a html table. It should connect to a web address (eg "[URL]") and read it. I'll be happy if I could just get the full HTML. I was able to use this code to get the HTML of a regular website:
Dim strReply As String = "NULL"
Dim objHttpRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim objHttpResponse As HttpWebResponse
objHttpRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]")
objHttpResponse = objHttpRequest.GetResponse
Dim objStrmReader As New StreamReader(objHttpResponse.GetResponseStream)
strReply = objStrmReader.ReadToEnd()
This code sample will give me the HTML for the website [URL]. However it will not work with the website I want (eg "[URL]"), because when you access it via regular browser it will popup a browser dialog asking for credentials (user / pass). So when I run the code above for it, I'll get the exception:
The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.
How do I set this up to use the credentials, before retrieving the HTML? This is actually my first web-related app.
I have a small market place in my website so I want to development a small app for retrieve and check data for example find a transaction or the email of a client and to show this data in a datagridview, this the the html code of a transaction :
I wanted to make a program where it will retrieve data from websites I use regularly and display important parts to me such as my horoscope, friends online, new emails etc. I'm just having a problem figuring out how to get visual basic to display the website information.

I'd like my application to retrieve a list of directories, sub-directories, and files from a URL (URL has no index page). Is that possible? I've been searching, but all I can seem to find is how to list directories and such on a system drive.
I'm able to create a List(Of String) containing a local directory structure of a LOCAL folder. I'm wondering how I would go about getting this structure for a website, in order to get a listing of all files of a particular type (for example: all .html files)
Something along the lines of what Xenu does would be perfect, but I don't know how to get started. I was thinking of doing something with parsing out "/" of the URL, but then you'd need to know the "deepest" file that exists on the site.. which you won't know...
Is there a way to get a folder listing of each directory of a site without having FTP access or something? (I'm assuming no due to security risks)
My only other option would be to crawl all hyperlinks within the site, and storing all the "internal" ones, but I don't know how to set up that loop, or how to know when it has reached the "deepest" level.
Kinda like when you delete a remote folder from FileZilla, it will traverse all sub-diretories first and delete those files.
Need to connect & retrieve from SQL DB in aspx page using vbscript server side.

I would like to ask a question with SchDocVW Internet explorer control.I added the reference "Microsoft Internet Controls" forum. [code]Could anyone give a known-good working example of how SHDocVW can be used to retrieve HTML contents reliably using VB?
In VB.NET 2005, what is the best way to retrieve and parse HTML data from a URL, a bit like a search engine crawler?I am building an app, where I need to parse a website, and collate data from it (the website uses some tags that I could pull out to get the appropriate bits of data). I want to be able to do this in a thread, and just update a DB with the data, and give the client app a status update of the progress.
I'm using the following code to retrieve a URL and then parse the HTML from the page:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click Dim Temp As String, searchstr As String
[Code]....
I think my problem is that I don't exactly understand how I am supposed to start and end the parsing. I know that in my above code, the "meta" tag is the start and the chr(34), double quotes, is the ending.
When I modify my code, I have price line, which in th html ends with another character, the ">" sign. In the first code, the "content" tag doesn't end with another character, it just continues the line, which is easy and it works.
Here is my problem: I need to store HTML in a MySQL database. Afterwards, I need to be able to retrieve the HTML and have it be valid HTML that a browser can render.
How can I store HTML in a MySQL database using .Net? How do I retrieve it afterwards? As this is the design phase, I can create the database any way that is needed.
I have a website that divided into 4 frames. I'm trying to create an application that will constantly run on my PC as a task looking for certain text in the HTML in a frame.When it finds the text it would alert the user by presenting a pop-up message. This is basically a monitoring website that checking network nodes. Instead of staring at the screen looking for critical messages I would like to be notified when there is an alert.

How to retrieve the absolute coordinates of an HTML or CSS element from the webbrowser control using Visual Basic? I am using VB 2008 Express Edition.

i want to make a website builder which has the html code already written so all you have to do is check which boxes you want and click next or back to go through the process of making a website with specific code implemented in it.
I am trying to extract everything between the body part as I am building a forum crawler and since all the user posts are between the <body></body> I have chosen to experiment with Regex. So far I have coded the following but sort of stuck on how to output the result say in a textbox? Also I am not sure if the body part of the regex is correct.
Dim URL As String = Textbox1.Text Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("URL") Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse Dim streamReader As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()) [Code] .....
So, in this program I added 2 necessary login codes let's say, first a code that I will provide and then the username and password from my website. I implemented both ways, the first one worked perfectly, however, the second one is giving me some problems, my idea for that control was not using a database of users, that was going to be too complicated for a 14 year old guy, so I decided to take the source code for my website and I took a fragment, the boxes for the login, username, password, forgot your password, remember me and some other boxes, great, that worked perfectly, I uploaded the HTML modified document to my website's files and linked it to the URL of the webbrowser control in one new form, good, it's working, but I wanted a simple condition that works for this function "When the webbrowser loads the success website, hide me and show the past login form, when this one shows the failed login, popup a messagebox that says the error.". I have been looking for that simple condition for a long time. I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition.
I was trying to use HtmlDocument and a given url to pull in the html contents of a website to use. However there is no constructor for HtmlDocument and it's Url property is readonly. Is there any way to create an object that contains the entire DOM for a given url?
What I would like to do is to find a way to get the results from a HTML/Javascript script in a string, using VB 2010.To make it clean on a practical case, I would like to get, in my VB application, the results provided by the run of the following external script:The resulting string should be something like this :
I have used .NET and ShDocVw for years to grab data off webpages without any issues I couldn't overcome. This website has me beat though. It seems like such as easy task to grab the titles and other information off a library search page, but I can't see the data to be able to grab it. Usually, I just look in the DOM, but the data wasn't there. I did a view source, but the data wasn't there.
What i'm trying to do is retrieve 2-3 pieces of information from a parsed html file, then add the data into a listview in the corresponding columns i was initially going to do a function for each piece of information to retrieve but thought maybe i could do it all with 1 function instead.
