C# - WebBrowserControl: UnauthorizedAccessException When Accessing Property Of A Frame
May 18, 2012
I coded a very small website bot in C# using the default WebBrowser control. Actually almost everything is working the way it is supposed to work, yet I seem to have problems with the very last step of my automation.
The website was built using several iframes. This isn't much of a big deal as I simply access those frames and their elements using
This however does not work when the source of the IFRAME is being hosted on a different domain than the actual website. As I searched the internet for an answer to my problem I stumbled across an MSDN article mentioning this specific problem and they were referring to safety measures against cross site scripting which might be the reason for this error.
I couldn't really find a way of disabling this feature so I moved on and decided to recode everything to work with geckofx-12 instead of the default (IE based) web browser control, yet I ran into similar issues...
My question is: Is there any way I can bypass this annoying behaviour? I don't really care about security concerns or on whether geckofx or the default web browser control is being used, I would just like to programmatically access the elements of a site which is being hosted on a different domain without running into an UnauthorizedAccessException.
I'm debugging a VB app where I'm using a comm port attached to a bluetooth radio paired to another bluetooth radio in order to communicate with a remote barcode scanner. The pair of bluetoooth devices basically work as a serial cable replacement. Sometimes it works fine, but after a while I get an UnauthorizedAccessException message which breaks the program (see attached jpeg).
I only get this when I use the radios and not when I use a direct cable. I wonder if it has something to do with other bluetooth devices nearby trying to communicate with mine. I've used the .NET Framework 2.0 Confuration tool to adjust the zone security to give full trust to MyComputer, so I don't think it has to do with security, but I'm really going beyond my area of expertise here. I don't know what's going on.
DataContext db = new DataContext(MyProject.Properties.Settings.Default.MyString)I am trying to convert this app to VB.NET but VB.NET does not seem to have a .Properties on the project. I am probably confused about what that C# is actually doing. I assumed it was trying to get the string out of the app.config (both
I/we (my class) created a usercontrol that included a picturebox and a timer. We declared the public variable to access the timer enabled property. Placing the user control onto a Form we are able to enable the timer. However, when we went to declare an array for the control we could not access the properties... We successfully declared control arrays using base class control...
I have made a front-end application in Visual Basic .NET that will store data entered by the user in a backend Access 2003 Database. The application has other functionality as well.If the user searchs for a previous record that has been stored in the Access Database, I query the Database (SELECT ... ) using an OLEDB Connection and then display the records on a Datagrid on my Form. Everything is working fine, however, the Column Headings of the Datagrid are the Field Names in my Database (FirstName, LastName,...) rather than Caption Values (First Name, Last Name,... )
I tried looking up the net, but most of the topics addressing a similar problems use DAO, and I understand that it is not completely supported in VB .NET. I am fairly new to VB .NET and I am not quite sure how to address the problem or where I am going wrong. I tried using FirstName.Caption but that gives a Runtime error (One or more parameters missing from the Sentence)
In my Site.Master.vb file, I have a custom User object:[code]Now in one of the content pages, I want to be able to see if a user is logged in. I figured if the object u was declared in the Site Master, I could use it in the pages that derive from the Site Master. For example, I want to do:[code]
I have an app with 24 different Forms. They have some security options based on which the 5 different buttons Submit, Approve, 2nd Approve, 3rd Approve, Reject etc get enabled disabled.Now I designed a MainForm that has all the buttons and the security code for them. I have created eachform as a usercontrol and load them dynamically based on which form the user wants. My loading works perfectly fine. I load the control and Add it to the place holder in the Page load event of the main page.
Now when the user selects the Submit button I want to call the Save method inside the usercontrol of the Form as each form will have a separate Save. So when I try this code snippet I get the Null reference error. Do let me know how to resolve it.
Private UCDynamic As UserControl
Then on Page Load event I use this code
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load If not Me.IsPostBack UCDynamic = LoadControl("Controls/BkCode.ascx") Me.PlaceHolderForm.Controls.Add(UCDynamic) End if
Then on the ButtonClick Event for Submit I do this
Protected Sub Save_OnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Save() End Sub
[code]....
Thats where I get the cast Null reference error. So is it that after post back the control no longer exist on the page.
I'm using the following code to create a bitmap from a webbrowsercontrol that is located just off-screen (not visible to user, but control is "visible") Does the CopyFromScreen method work for something that is not ACTUALLY displayed on the screen?
I checked the values of p.X and p.Y at runtime and they are correct, but my "img" does not reflect the portion of the "Screen" i'm trying to capture.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, or if CopyFromScreen will still work if my control is outside of the bounds of the primaryscreen.
vb.net 'This is set at FormShown time 'Position the browser off-screen Dim wbPoint As New Point(Me.Location.X + Me.Width - 50, Me.Location.Y)
I am trying to get the HTML in a webbrowsercontrol, the HTML page has IFRAMES.I am able to get the data from the main html, but not the iframe.Here is what i have , i am using Visual Studio 2010/It will prompt and show the correct iframes it found, but then it throws and error saying [code]
I have created a web service and I am trying to figure out how to take the URL from a WebBrowserControl in windows form and POST it to the web service.The web service will then take that url and create an image which will be turned into a pdf.
I have the below code that looks for a textbox on the webbrowsercontrols current webpage, and sets focus on it.
When i run my app, it throws the errro below. if i press "yes" everything works fine, if i put "supress errors" option in the webbrowsercontrol, no errors but dosent work.[code]...
Program was working fine, now all of a sudden it decides it does not want to navigate for me...It doesn't appear that either of my DocumentComplete or DownloadComplete Events are being fired when navigating to a very minimal web page.I even tried deleting the code blocks, and "re-adding" them in the IDE. no dice.This is pretty much the most important part of the whole program. arggh.what could be causing this? I tested by placing a msgbox call in the Document Complete Event. no popup*

I have a webbrowser control with a static HTML page in it, i wanted to loop through each of the DIV items, and look at the class attribute within them. When i run my test, the class attribute is always blank? I know they have a class attribute i checked in my HTML
I have a class that has the following property that is generated by the methods in the constructor.
Public Class clsLoadTables Private _ds As New DataSet Public Property ds() As DataSet Get
[CODE]........................
My problem is that I do not want to inherit this class, but I have other classes that need to access the ds DataSet property. If at all possible I would like to not use inheritance and not load my datatable more than once in the program.
Here is my failed attempt to access the property inside another class that is not inheriting clsLoadTables:
[CODE].........................
How I can access this dataset that I want to load only once in the program from many classes without using class inheritance or a global module?
how does this function works. How does it copy the frame? HDC BiBlt???
ublic Function copyFrame(ByVal src As PictureBox, ByVal rect As RectangleF) As Bitmap If isRunning Then Dim srcPic As Graphics = src.CreateGraphics[code].....
the above function is called from the below command which is in a timer event. mycam is a class including the copy frame function.
bm2 = myCam.copyFrame(PictureBox1, New RectangleF(0, 0, PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height))
Is there any way to avoid UnauthorizedAccessException, i get it every time when I try to do this:[code]Is there any way to make that script read-write?

System.UnauthorizedAccessException was unhandled. I'm following motcom's tutorial on creating a simple directory explorer, and everytime I try to expand I get the error above. How can I be getting that error on my own computer ? I'm on my administrator account, it happens even if I compile it and run it as administrator also. What could be causuing this ?
i am creating an application that needs to read a text file from an external hard drive, the paths etc are all correct however i am getting the error System.UnauthorizedAccessException"i have searched through various forums and googled it and the only solution i can find is to allow the .net user permissions however i dont have this user/group on my system.also i am using Windows 7, dont know if that should make a difference.
Public Class frmMain Public Structure Movie Public Name As String
It seems like FileSystem.GetFiles() is unable to recover from the UnauthorizedAccessException exception that .Net triggers when trying to access an off-limit directory.In this case, does it mean this class/method isn't useful when scanning a whole drive and I should use some other solution (in which case: Which one?)? Here's some code to show the issue:
Private Sub bgrLongProcess_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles bgrLongProcess.DoWork Dim drive As DriveInfo[code]...
I am making a client/server project where the server can send a String variable to client but for now i'm starting with a simpler code. I was able to code a bit but now i'm having a problem with this UnauthorizedAccessException. It seems that I am not authenticated but i was able to put the admin username and its password. This is my problem.. Here's my code...
