Copying Information From A Website Into VB 2010?
Jul 16, 2011
on my form i have a button and five textboxes... when i click the button it takes me to a website. on this website is a list of five items. i want to take these five items and place them in the 5 textboxes. up to now what i have been doing is highlighting the first item in the list on the website, right clicking and using the copy feature, then going back to the vb form and pasting the first item in textbox1... then go back to the website and highlight item two... return to the form and paste in textbox2.. then the same procedure for the next three items
is there a way to highlight all five items from the website, right click, select copy and then paste the information into the 5 textboxes on the form... one in each of the textboxes provided without doing it one at a time

I am writing an app which gets information from a website. Basically I load the webpage into a webbrowser control and parse the document text for what I need.
My problem is: I have a German version of windows. The webpage returned has the German version of the webpage. I require the English version but there is no way of specifying the language in the URL, so it must be picking up the default language of my operating system. How can I override this, is there a property of the Webbrowser control which I can set?

I want to extract some information from a web site (Bloomberg). This side has a search textbox with a onKeyUp event that, as far as I can understand, uses AJAX to create a table. Is it possible to insert some text in the textbox and then get the table created with AJAX? Given the source code of the page with the tabled already AJAXed (If you understand what I want to say here), I can easily retrieve the table. I just need to get the source code with the table already on it.

I've created a simple licensing system for a friend who has created visual basic programs which he sells at a few dollars each (they're speciality programs).The licensing system is coded in PHP (I'm a PHP coder), and the system requires the user to input their license key upon start up, if there is not already an activated key (which is created in a .txt doc)

The only problem is once in a while it fails. If it fails, we'll wait 5 seconds and try again. Well, it doesn't help. Once it fails it keep failing.

I was doing some refreshing on my VB.NET skills by working on a little project for a friend of mine. This program loads class information from a database on her college classes and is going to allow her to select classes to add and create her schedule for the next year. We are displaying the data in datagridviews. What I am currently having trouble with is getting the data from the one classDataGridView to transfer over to scheduleDataGridView. I am able to copy the selected data to a variable, my only problem is then getting to assign that variable in to a cell in the 2nd datagridview.Here is my current code for copying and transferring the data, it is being accessed in a button_click event.
For Each row As DataGridViewRow In classDataGridView.SelectedRows
Dim text As String
For Each cell As DataGridViewCell In classDataGridView.SelectedCells

I have an asp.net webpage that only contains a textbox and a button. The user submits their email address using this webpage.What I am trying to do now is take the information submitted by the user and go to another website. Where my "website/program" gives the different website the entered email address, and clicks the submit button.
If I where to physically go to the different website, there would be a textbox to enter the email. But since I am accessing the website from my page "behind the scenes" I cant manually enter their email address.Is it possible to do this, if so how? Also, my code behind is in VB.

I have had a few programming courses in college, but I'm far from a VB expert. I work at a bank and I want to copy information off of webpages and put it into an Excel worksheet. I created a macro that automatically opens up Internet explorer -- but really what I need is a subroutine (or a method) that copies information from 1.1Million records / screens and places the information into MS Excel.There are 1.1M records, so ideally-- I like it to copy all information over a weekend and come in on Monday and be done. At the very least, I would like a macro that can run off of a shortcut and copy all information on a webpage and puts information into each respective cell. Ie. copies the name field and puts into the name cell in Excel... address field into the address cell in Excel.

Not sure if this is possible at all. I was hoping somebody could help point me in the right direction. Right now im not quite sure what to search for or what this would be called. Basicly I was wondering if it is possible to design a application in vb.net 2008 that could search a website for specific information.

My university has a website that students can use to check stuff like their lesson schedules, latest grades, exam times, etc. Just general information about you and your study (after you have logged in of course).For interested, this is the website (not much use without a login obviously, but still): [URL]I have been thinking lately that it would be nice to have a desktop application that could give me the same information. However, I have absolutely no idea how that would work, and whether or not it is even possible. I mean, technically it should be possible for me to get the information (how else does the website get it) provided it is not secured (even when using the correct login details). I am sure the website communicates with a database somewhere. Does that mean I could theoretically also communicate with the database (probably: read from it only, not write) for example by executing queries?If that is possible, how do I figure out which queries to use for the different pieces of information? Obviously I don't know the details of the database so I can't just send a random query and expect it to work...

I have been using VB a fair bit in the past developing a Access Database, recently I wanted to give my front end interface a bit more power so I have started learning VS 2010.
Anyways, I am still using Access for my databases and i am having a bit of trouble working with the data in VS 2010, what i would like is the following:
A way to form a string or integer from a SQL query (from a single field or multiple on that row) assuming the query will always return one row.
Then a way to write string or integer variables back in to db fields.
example:
Dim cn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|ItemRegisterDB.mdb")
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand With {.Connection = cn, .CommandText = "select * from tblItemregister where ItemID = 1"}
[Code]....
Example = ??? 'What would i need here to copy fields from that row to string?

I googled some code that takes listview contents and puts it into the clipboard, but it doesn't work, when I paste the contents into Excel it looks weird!Here's the code that copies listview contents to clipboard:
Public Sub CopyListViewToClipboard(ByVal lv As ListView)
Dim buffer As New StringBuilder
For i As Integer = 0 To lv.Items.Count - 1
[code]....
The code makes sense to me when I'm trying to see what it's doing but why in the world when I paste the contents into Excel it looks like this:I don't understand...everything is fine when I'm adding new items to the listview and all, but when I click "copy" and then paste it into ms excel this is it how it looks like...

I have a file that is constantly altered, and if an error happends, I want to have a backup. I was wondering if there's a way to make a script that will copy all the files in the selected folder, and post/overwrite them every 20 minutes in a back-up folder or something, and I say overwrite so it doesnt take up 298347234 gigs of data.

Is there anyway to reliably know when a large file has completely finished copying to a particular folder? For example, Computer1 copies a large file to Server1Share1. On Server1Share1, I want to do something AFTER the file is done copying, without Computer1 intervention.
