what method should I be using to obtain all the form input elements during an httpwebresponse?I know that posting back to them can be done via editing the response using textbox1.text...but how can I obtain the input values during my request without having to manually go behind the scenes and peek at the html code?

I read a line from a text file with text as "ABC.txt", "XYZ.txt", "TEST.txt".I use code file = sr.ReadLine(); to assign the text to variable file. Now I want to initiate a string array likestring[] FileNames = {file}; it doesn't work. What should I do?
View 2 RepliesI am new to VB and seeking to create a visual basic program which controls the display of several on-screen elements depending on a single value input by a user. The user can enter anyone of 2500 values and depending on the value entered, five different display elements on the screen will change color or text. The program's response to a given input value never changes, in other words if the user enters 279, the five different display items will always be the same. However, there is no real pattern to the display items that would allow for programming an anticipated response to the input value.
My thinking is to create a large and ponderous "lookup table" in visual basic - I am assuming this an be done but perhaps there is a different or better method. I plan on creating the lookup file in Excel but was assuming I'd need to export it to something that VB could easily read. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Does the lookup table reside as a separate .txt files someplace or something like that? [Code]
I have tried a few things like converting HTML to XML and then using an XML navigator to get input elements but I get lost whenever I start this process.What I am trying to do is to navigate to a website which will be loaded using textbox1.text.Then download the html and parse out the input elements like . username, password, etc and place the element by type (id or name) into the richtextbox with the attribute beside the name.[code]Any clues or how to properly execute an HTML to XML conveter, reader, parser?
View 2 RepliesI created a method and pass the element type, id, and any inner text that instantiates a new html element. The last statement: Me.Controls.Add(element) adds it to the end of the page, but I would like it to be inserted in a specific position (between 2 divs within a form). What I am describing is very similar to this post on SO here, although it was for javascript.
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble with receiving bytes using HttpWebResponse.I can receive them just fine with WebClient, which I believe is just a wrapper for HttpWebResponse.Anyway, I put together some example code to re-create the situation. [code] If you just paste it into a empty Form1 and hit F5, it will create all controls automatically.I would use WebClient, but I want to get one byte at a time so I can have a detailed progress indicator, and I couldn't find any way to do that with WebClient.WebClient SendDataAsync has some serious problems where it only fires its progress update events like 3 times.Also, you will see if you press the button, it takes like 20 seconds of doing absolutely nothing, and then all of a sudden it downloads all the data in like a split second.If you press the button again and again, it only takes a split second.But the first time you push it, it takes for ever.Does anyone know why and how to fix that? [code] for the sake of all that is good and holy, don't use ACCESS, EXCEL, or a TEXT FILE as a database.If you want your program to use a "local database", without any of the hassle of setting up a MS SQL or MySQL server, just click this link: >>> SQLite <<<

I'm currently working on making a database driven app without using SQL and instead using a simplistic web directory to store information.Unfortunately after just beginning I hit a rock wall on creating a login screen. As it works right now, every user has a directory and within that directory is file called "access" which has a password. While I'm aware that's it not secure, that's later to come, but right now I'd just like it to work. But the program uses WebRequest to see whether or not there is a directory under the given username, if there is then the username is considered valid and it moves on to check the password- where I start to have trouble. The password verification uses WebRequest and WebResponse as well, using StreamReader to read the access file. At the moment, the password checker only works once in a single program instance. Otherwise trying to check another login will cause the program to hang or freeze when declaring the WebResponse variable (resp).
This is the password verification code (with URL's removed):
Dim Username As String = My.Settings.usrUsername'The function is in a BackgroundWorker so I use My.Settings to communicate with the UI.
Dim Password As String
Dim usrPassword As String = My.Settings.usrPassword

Looking for the best way to determine if a URI exists in VB.NET without downloading the actual content. System.IO.FileExists/My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists can be used locally to determine if a file exists, is there an equivalent for the Web?
Currently I am using a HttpWebRequest to check URI existance using the ResponseStream. This populates the stream if the target does exist and throws an exception if it doesn't. The function is being expanded to also check for PDF files (typically 5MB +), images, etc and it will be a waste of time/bandwidth to actually populate the content into a stream.
In the case of "Success" (the target does exist) I do not wish to download the file or page, simply to end up with a Boolean which indicates the whether something exists at the end of this URI.
I tried using suggestions from other posts for this and still no resolution. When sending a POST request, at times it will just begin to freeze and stall. I set up my code as follows and now basically if I cannot figure out why it is freezing, then itneeds to timeout, handle the exception and restart the function.

I am stuck in showing images of a requested webpage using Httpwebrequest/httpwebresponse (VB.net) classes. I can make calls to get the target webpage and display the result but it doens't show the images.
