I need to navigate to a webpage and copy a string of information from it within the shortest possible timeframe. The site has the following written on it:This is the string that you need to apply to your algorithm.
Generated String: 61*76*83*47*69*88*
I want to copy the string from the webbrowser control and place it into a string called "GenString"
What I want to do is to get information which has been stored on a webpage in a hidden field.
I have been able to put information on to a web page using the following
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("email").InnerText = email
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("college").InnerText = coll
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("status").InnerText = status
[Code]....
I have tried various lines of code but non of them seem appropriate for what I want to do. The current line I have got is:
'hidfld is the hidden field on the webpage which I want the info from
findword = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("hidfld").OuterText
I am developing a game and I want an options window to be used so that the user enters data into this and it carries to the main window instead of being lost. I tried it with my recent program , guess the color , but it did not work the way I thought. I thought that I could assign it to a string in a textbox to a variable and it would carry into the main window...
I want this to happen:
The user begins the program by clicking shortcut
User clicks options in the toolbar
A new window comes onto the screen
In this window the user will select a map size then click ok the verify , radiobuttons used in this example...
Back to the main screen after clicking ok
User clicks new on toolbar to begin game
Game is then playing...
Form1 <<< Form 2
game screen 3x3 button
end turn
Form 1
New game is begun
form 2 appears
3x3 button is pressed*
variable is used to change map (there is only one map for now)*
form2 closes and form1 shows
End turn is clicked
I got a table related to another table by orderref. I need to know what should be my SQL adapter command if I need to take some information from one table and some from another where orderref = "" or should I be making two separate SQLs?
I used to have this when I had only one table:
myStr = "select * from orders where Orderref='" + txtorderref.Text + "'"
Dim sqldaHistory As New SqlDataAdapter(myStr, nwindconn)
sqldaHistory.Fill(myDataset, "orders")
I am wondering how I can select and pull specific bits of data from a block of information a user pastes into a textbox. For example, the information has fixed words and is always in the same format, but the numbers relating to the words may be different. One report might say, for example, Cars: 1.176 and another may say Cars: 863. How do I pull the information about the "cars" from a the block of text with the number value even though it can be different each time?
I must note that there are many many of these scattered throughout the average report and I need to pull the values of each of them in a single click, then paste those values into a different area on the form.
I have an online database, and I have a program to insert information into database and to login using the information in the database, now I am wondering how to take something from a database and display it in a label, lets say if I log in with my username and password I want it to display my e-mail address from the database in a label, this is the code that I have for the register:
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

I'm trying to pull information from an XML webpage but for some reason it just isn't working. The XML webpage looks a little like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<item>
<reqdat>Date and time</reqdate>
<result>Completed</result>

I want to get the node, but everything I've tried hasn't worked :( I think what I need to do might have something to do with SelectSingleNode but I'm not sure.

View 1 RepliesI've currently got a service that produces xml files every 10 seconds containing server information. I'm looking for a way to display this on a web page. I have been looking on the web for the best way to do this and it seems that using AJAX would be good as it allows the loading of dynamic content to be done in the background. However how can I use AJAX? Should I add a ASP.NET website to my visual studio project? OR should I look to use javascript & AJAX in something like dreamweaver? I'm very new to programming so i only really have a bit of experience in vb.net.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to take specific information from a web page and then process that information so that it can be sent to a label or text box.Previously, I had wanted to do this by using Regular Expressions. I've looked around and it seems that using regular expressions to parse information isn't always the best way because website aren't always coded to standards.Regardless, learning regex isn't working out too well for me. So, I was wondering if there was another way to do this?I was thinking that I might be able to use the web browser control. It would be ideal to be able to see the page in the form, select the information, and then be able to display it.
View 8 RepliesI am *VERY* new to web-scraping and am trying to scrape some information off of a webpage that is heavily javascript enabled. An example of the page I am trying to scrape from is: [URL] I am trying to scrape the property links such as "322 E 98th St" The text appears on the webpage and I can find the link myself, but it doesn't appear in the page source code.
I am trying to scrape it using the webbrowser control using the WebBrowser1.DocumentText property, but it doesn't even show the links simply when I view the source in ie. I am sure this has something to do with the javascript it uses to load up the page or maybe iFrames,

I'm creating an application software. It has many features, which is in the base version of the software. And people could buy my software (which will be enough for most of them since it had all the common features needed) and use it. But some of them might need additional features to this version.So, I can add new features to the base version of my product and provide them a custom or extended version.
But my question is, how can I effectively manage these versions of the software while updating (or upgrading with new features which are common to all of them)
[Code]...
In the above example F1, F2, F3, F4 & F5 are the features available common for all editions of my software.Whereas, A1, A2, A3 & A4 are the additional features added based on customer's request.
I have my program set up to download a web page with a webclient. Normally, I could just use .Substring, but there are about 25 things I need to pluck out of this page, and .Substring, or at least the way I have it set up, takes the first occurrence. The good news is, they are all URLs; they are all similar too.
Each URL is as follows: [URL]
Now, of course, this URL is just made up, but each URL starts with [URL] and ends with 'video'.
How can I hook this up so that it scans the entire page (contained in a string, read from a StreamReader connected to a WebClient), finds each URL, and then adds it to a listview?
I have been searching a lot online but couldn't find a solution for my problem. I want it to refresh every certain interval of time without this message to display. Now Ican't minimize my program because I'm putting an automatic Sendkeys.send("{Enter}") after the refresh to get rid of that message by clicking on "Retry".And If I minimize it the Enter will be executed on the active Window, which might be any other Window.
I hope that you understand what I mean, If not, I will clarify more.

View 1 RepliesBasically, I have a Web Browser object on a Visual Basic form. However, about 5 seconds after it finishes loading ANY webpage, the entire program stops responding. I figured the issue was related to internet explorer, so I updated to Internet Explorer 9 Beta and the issue is fixed (this is a very strange fix)!!! However, Internet Explorer 9 is not available for Windows XP.
