Oct 20, 2010
I am working on a program to connect to a site by using httpwebrequest methood. I want to know how to get the html tag using with httpwebrequest? The html tag I want to grab the data from the page to input in the listview is:
<p id='myid'></p><p id='myid'>The name of the data</p>
Here's the full code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Address of URL
Dim URL As String = "http://www.mysite.com/"
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(URL), HttpWebRequest)

I'm developing an app for WP7 and Win7 that will get info extracted directly from particular websites. The app will download the HTML source and parse through it to find the required strings. The strings may not have tags. note multiple instances of the string needs to be found. I've tried a few very rudimentary ways, and although they work, they are extremely slow.

All I am trying to achieve by find the value using with the matches which come next equals, something is like: "Address=Whateveritgoeshere". So I want to extract to get the strings which it would be: "Whateveritgoeshere"
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I am attempting to remove information from an html file, using known 'tags' (not html tags, just short sequences that only occur where my information is). My code worked fine until part of one tag was on a seperate line. Here's the function I have been using: (OriginalString conatins the HTML file)

so using the webbrowser control, im trying to grab text from a webpage and have them listed into a list box
The webpage contains nothing except the following "red, blue, green". There is no html, just those three words separated by commas, and saved as a .htm file.

Is there a way to use [string].Join to concatenate html stings including spaces? I want to join html strings with a special character so I can pass them as an array to javascript from the code behind.
Dim Array(100)
As
String
ArrayString = [String].Join(",", Array)
This works great if each item in Array is one word only, but what if each item in Array contains spaces?

I have inherited a database that is moving to the web. Problem is that some of the string fields have html characters....
One example is....
"" without the quotes, IT WON'T SHOW UP IN HERE EITHER, trying something else. At any rate it has < and the > signs with text in the middle.
How can I escape any possible combination of html references.
SelectCommand="usp_getSingleStringData" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"
<SelectParameters>
<asp:SessionParameter Name="shrtText" SessionField="shrtText" Type="String" />

Need a bit of help with HTML Agility Pack!Basically I want to grab plain-text withing the body node of the HTML. So far I have tried this in vb.net and it fails to return the innertext meaning no change is seen, well atleast from what I can see.
Dim htmldoc As HtmlDocument = New HtmlDocument
htmldoc.LoadHtml(html)
Dim paragraph As HtmlNodeCollection = htmldoc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//body")
[code]....
I have tried this:
Return htmldoc.DocumentNode.InnerText
But still no luck!

I am trying to build my own website and realized that it would be a big help to also create my own vb program to enable me to embed tags with simple clicks of buttons. I am having trouble getting my vb code to be compatible with html code (I keep getting vb syntax errors).
Here is what I've tried:
<strong>'Inside of a button:Textbox1.text = "<html tag example></html tag example>"</strong>

Here's the weird problem I am trying to solve but cannot get my mind around it. In a text box 1, the user enters 2 or more strings separated by comma. then in text box 2, the user enter 1 or more strings separated by comma. The output then puts the strings from text box 2 between the strings in text box 1
Example:
TextBox1 = visual basic, java, perl
TextBox2 = is better, compared to

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

I have string which is:
document1.txtdocument2.txtdocument3.txt
What I would like to do is split it so it shows in a listbox as
document1.txt
document2.txt
document3.txt
I have come up with a solution which may work. Its preety over complicated too me but this is the only way I could think of?
What I need help on is a code so that after every ".txt" it will place a "/" so the string will look like this:
document1.txt/document2.txt/document3.txt/
Then I would use this code to split the string:
Dim I3() As String
I3 = I.Split("/")
For g = 0 To I3.Length - 1
ListBox1.Items.Add(I3(g))
Next

This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td>
<input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden">
<img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work">
</td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?

how I can select the text in a textbox/richtextbox that is between two designated strings? Like, for instance, lets say "<b>" is the first string, and "</b>" is the second. The text entered in the textbox is "<b>hello world!</b>". How would I get it to programmatically select the "hello world"?
Also, I would like to know of a way to select the text between the two strings and the strings themselves, so that, inputting "Hello <b>world! I'm</b> awesome!", "<b>world! I'm</b>" would be selected.

I'm getting an Out of Range argument, it claims the length of the indexed substring is less than zero. I know the Substring and trim methods can work because I got an answer (not what I wanted) before I started trying to hone it in to the correct chapter and verse

I guess my question has two parts:
1. My program has to read text out of a text file. I use some HTML tags to preserve the formatting. For example, I might have the line "this is a <b> line </b> of <b> text </b>" where "line" and "text" are bold. How do I make it so the string prints to a RichtextBox, but only "line" and "text" are bold? I would use a RichTextbox.SaveFile method, but the program works by reading a group of richtextboxes in a flowlayoutpanel and appending them to a single text file.
2. How would I extract the text from between two strings? For instance, I have created special tags for use in my program. These tags tell the program where to add controls. Say my string was:
"[IMG= "dog.jpg" /] this is a picture of a dog. [IMG= "cat.jpg"] this is a picture of a cat."
For each occurrence of the string "[IMG=", I would need it to find the corresponding "/]" and extract the text between the two. I could maybe do something with a substring function. I don't know.

Usage: Users create pretty HTML news letters in another app. They post the newsletter to the web, but they also want to set the contents of the HTML news letter file as the body of an email and send it using Application In Question. The users understand to use absolute link and image references when sending an E Newsletter. Environment:
AIQ is a VB.Net app deployed via ClickOnce. It is an intranet app; one can be sure MS Office 2003 and the interop 11 dlls are on the target machines.
Restrictions: MAPI is out. It mangles the HTML. Since it is a ClickOnce deployment, we can't register dlls (I think, correct me if I am wrong). Therefore CDO and COM is out (again, I may be wrong.... I would be happy to be proven so).

I am looking for a control to load text strings into. I want to be able to use different font sizes and perhaps font styles for each text string. I also want to be able to select each text string. I am using a rich text box to obtain the formatting I need but I don't know how to set this up so that I can select each test string independantly. Alternatively I coulg put them into a DataGridView and get rid of the lines but this would look to structured as the cell width is contant for each cell in the DataGridView.

before you see any of this, you will have made a text file (dont ask how)
the text file will contain html with an unknown number of lines
(the user will click a button to add a new line to the file, so the number of lines depends on the user
each line will look like this:<a href="www.link.com"> text </a>[URL].. is just a place taker for what the user would have written there as well as "text"

I am reading a text file in which has three colums of information i.e.
00100 25690 21586
23510 25694 24856
25896 45478 52897
58745 59687 12364
I want to read the whole file, and split the colums so each set of numbers is put into an array to be used as an input for later. If the text file only contains one line of numbers like 00100 25690 21586, I have written a code to seperate those and put them into an array which is attached. If the text file contains more than one row of numbers I can read the whole file in line by line but I can't get the strings seperated.

I've build a list of Strings from files. The list itself is working fine (tried it by having ListBoxes and other controls loading its items from there just to make sure that this is not the issue). Now, I am using this list of strings to compare a Text in a TextBox1 while typing to determine if this TextBox1.Text already exists in the list. I am using the following code (where "s" stands for my List items):
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If TextBox1.TextLength < "1" Then
Button6.Enabled = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Image = My.Resources.pic_Add_Warning
ToolStripStatusLabel1.ForeColor = Color.Red
