I have a login form and what it does its uses datastream or webrequest and post's a url to a php file i have. If the login is true, it will return a 1, if it is a bad login, it will return 0. But my problem is that the acars wont read 1 or 0. it reads all of the html on the page. Is there anyway i can make it so it only displays a 1 or 0 to the acars, and not all the html of the page?
View 1 RepliesI've code this code below:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim hwrRequest As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.example.com/web-service.php")
[Code]....
The MsgBox() at the end shows the response, which as I've added to my script, echos the result from the $user and $pass variables which are supposed to retrieve those details being written to the stream above, but they show up empty.
I'm retrieving those values by doing: $user = $_POST["user"]; $pass = $_POST["pass"];

View 2 RepliesI have the following code to open a webpage:
Dim IE As Object
Dim x As Integer
Dim c As Variant
[code]....
The page that opens is in xml and in that xml there is the "page_count" that I need to pick out so I can tell my macro when to stop looping. I have dimmed it as "c" in the code above. Following is the XML.
<search>
<total_items>360</total_items>
<page_size>100</page_size>
<page_count>4</page_count>
Somehow I need c = "4", which is the "page_count". Does anyone know how I can pick out the "4" from the xml on my page?

View 7 RepliesI am trying to build a VB.NET 2005 windows app which gets cars info from a ebpage(webapplication) that has a username and password.I was able to programmatically login to this webpage(by automatically populating the input boxes using webbrowser control) And after I logged in, I could view the cars data in browser and I did "View Source" but the cars data (such as car model, brand, color etc..) were not viewable in the page source code
View 17 RepliesI am developing an application for internal use in our company. The purpose of this application is for document imaging. What we are wanting to do is print a barcode label to attach to documents so that when they are scanned in a piece of software such as vfiler will be able to read the barcodes and know how to file them.The main focus is our ERP system which is web based (PHP). We are wanting to modify the code to allow the user to print the barcode label immediately once they enter an order or PO. I have access to the source code for the ERP web pages. I don't know of any way to make a web page print to a printer without displaying the printer select dialog. So, I decided that I wanted to try and create a VB application that would do the printing of the barcodes. This would allow me to bypass the the printer select dialog.
Now for the question. Is there any way to have a web page (PHP) running on the server call a VB app to perform a task? So, if I had a button on the webpage and the user clicked it, that button would somehow send the pertinent information (Order number) to the VB app and the VB app would print the barcode. The VB app will always be running on the machine. The label printers will be Zebra USB label printers on each person's machine.

View 5 Repliesauto filling data into webpages. I need to write a server side application mostly a console host app that makes some queries to the SQL Server database and gets a list of lets say students and their grades.There is a third party website that gets updated at the moment some peoples working and filling that data manually.
I need to write a program that will basically open that webpage, login if required, navigate to certain page, click on certain tab, fill the data and hit the submit button. I don't think this part is that hard but the trouble comes with a client side dialog box. At the moment there is a client side dialogbox that shows up when you hit the submit button confirming the action and I need to press OK on that automatically.
I am allowed to write a windows application if not a console application and also use the web browser control to load the webpage rather than opening and interacting with the browser. If this makes it easier than so be it.
