C# - HTMLAgilityPack And Timeouts On Load
May 3, 2011
I'm using HTMLAgilityPack in a parser that I have up on a server, but I'm having issues with one of the websites that I'm parsing: Every day around 6am they tend to shut down their servers for maintenance, which throws off the Load() method for HTMLWeb, and makes my app crash. Do any of you guys have a more secure way of loading a website into HTMLAgilityPack, or maybe some way to do error checking in C# to prevent my app from crashing? (my c# is a little rusty). Here is my code right now:
HtmlWeb webGet = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument document = webGet.Load(dealsiteLink); //The Load() method here stalls the program because it takes 1 or 2 minutes before it realizes the website is down

Here is a snip of my code:
Dim content As String = ""
Dim web As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb
Dim doc As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument()
doc.Load(WebBrowser1.DocumentStream)
Dim hnc As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNodeCollection = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='address']/preceding-sibling::h3[@class='listingTitleLine']")

The current version of my application was using the WebClient object to download files from the internet and all was working well until some users reported that they were getting server timeouts. I looked into this issue and decided to move to the WebRequest object as it allows me to specify a Timeout value. The problem is, when using it synchronously, if I specify a timeout value of -1, I am worried that in the event of some weird server anamoly, my application would hang as it would be waiting for a response that isn't coming. So then I thought of using the WebRequest ansynchronously.

I'm writing a web crawler for a specific site. The application is a VB.Net Windows Forms application that is not using multiple threads - each web request is consecutive. However, after ten successful page retrievals every successive request times out. I have reviewed the similar questions already posted here on SO, and have implemented the recommended techniques into my GetPage routine, shown below:

In an asp.net 2.0 application I maintain, we were experiencing issues with transaction aborted errors (timeout). Code that fails seems to cause a timeout, then the page logging functionality that uses transactionscope (default constructor) fails (but not always). The timeout is set to 2 minutes. Some example code that is similar to what we have in our app is below:[code].....
From what I've seen and read, my guess is that since the using block is never reached, the transaction times out.Then the logging code (done with any page request) tries to enlist in the existing transaction, which has timed out and results in a transaction aborted error (as soon as the constructor is called). Is this assumption correct? Why would only some requests fail going forward and not all (assuming they all use transactionscope)? how does connection pooling play into this? If user A hits the bad code, would user B then be potentially affected by this? This is the behavior we've seen. If not, what else might cause this? I've been to MSDN, but I can't find anything that really clicks with me as to what is happening and why.Here is the relevant portion of the connection string:
Enlist=true;Pooling=true;Connection Lifetime=20;Max Pool Size=25;Min Pool Size=5
FYI. Not sure if this is relevant, but the app uses an Oracle 11g database with the EntLib database factory pattern.

I'm running some unit tests for a large VB.Net application I help maintain and am running into problems with tests timing out. The test run is set up so that there's no timeout limit on the overall test run, but a limit of 2 minutes per individual test. However, a couple of the tests take a lot longer than this to run, so we tried adding the timeout attribute to the test's declaration, i.e
<TestMethod(), Timeout(15 * 60 * 1000)> Public Sub DoSomething()
for a 15 minute timeout. However, the 2 minute timeout set in the test run properties seems to be taking precedence, even though it says that the timeout attribute should override it.

I have been using the following Stream Reader code for over a year now to pull information from 3 websites w/ no issues. Recently my users are getting massive amounts of "Timeout" errors. I have opened a ticket w/ the IT department but they have not found any issues (we are experiencing off/on issues w/ our web traffic speeds in our department). Per the code I have the timeout set to 20 seconds but the Timeout error occurs in only a few seconds from the System.Net.WebException.

I have code in an ASP.NET form that needs to, depending on user entry create messages in the database. We are speaking of potentially thousands of db entries. How do I protect against deadlocks, I mean apart from using Transactions and setting IsolationLevel to Serializable, as well as using WITH(NOLOCK) statement on my select statements since I don't mind a dirty read.

I am trying to take a string that I have marked up through vb.net code and cross-check it with the text file it came from originally. This is for proofreading the html output.To do this, I need to parse an HTML snippet that does not come from a URL.The examples of HTMLAgilityPack I have seen get their input from a URL. Is there a way to parse a string of marked-up text that does not include a header or similar parts of a well-formed webpage?

I'm using the HTMLAgilityPack to parse HTML pages. However at some point I try to parse wrong data (in this specific case an image), which ofc fails for obvious reasons. Code:
How to check whether the content is 'parse-able' before trying to parse it to prevent the error? For now it is an image which makes an error popup however I think it might be just anything which isn't (x)html.

I have spent way too much time trying to sort this little issue out. I have narrowed down the issue to the exact procedure that throws the error. Yes, I have used Google..
Try
Dim tempSource as String = Nothing
Console.WriteLine("Loading document...")

I am loading a text file, that contains about 1100 lines, and each line is going to be processed with HTML Agility Pack. From what I can tell, when it runs "doc.loadhtml(richtextbox1)", it throws the error. I also have tried to load the file into a string, and load the string with "doc.loadhtml(thestring)". It doesn't make a difference, still errors.
Here are is a sample of how each line looks:
<Site Index="" Name="" Group="" PR="" />
<Site Index="" Name="" Group="" PR="" />
[code]....
I am using HTML Agility Pack, however the above is what is on every line, about 1100 lines! For testing, I have a smaller text file made of about 50 lines before I load up the 1100 line file ;) There aren't any HTML, HEAD, or BODY tags! They aren't needed for my parsing. I am using HTML Agility Pack because it is easy to parse elements with. I can grab each value easily from each line.
I am not sure if maybe the error is because it technically isn't HTML? Meaning since the loaded code doesn't have an HTML or BODY tag, that it errors? I wanted to get this question posted, and while I am waiting on some answers, I am going to parse the document another way. Just curious as to what the deal is and why HTML Agility Pack isn't working. More of a proof of concept then anything, for my own learning and knowledge.
Here is the error I get (btw the on the doc.load() line, is where it throws the exception):
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Last Note: The routine is on a background thread. I have used multi-threading before, and have delegates created for deeper in the code.

I have a vb.net web application and when a particular function runs , i get data timeouts in the rest of the application..(ie..row not found errors or column does not belong to table but it does) The function is adding multiple rows in multiple tables in the database and is running in a for loop. It seems to be all SQL related but I am not seeing anything in the error logs in SQL or in the application Right now I am assuming it is memory related where to start note..the for loop will be replaced with a bulk insert but right now I jest need to resolve the issue of the timeouts
