Have A Webcrawler App Which Uses A Web-browser Control To Navigate To A URL?
Aug 15, 2011
Basically I have a webcrawler app which uses a web-browser control to navigate to a URL. Once the page is loaded, I use the function below to grab the HTML. Once I obtain the HTML, using HTML Agility Pack I extract the plaintext. Once this is down, with a click of a button I save the url, and plaintext to the database (using sql server).
tb_HTML.Text = WebBrowser1.document.Body.OuterHtml
Now my question is how can I carry the above as a background process, whereby say I have a form and enter all the url I need to extract the plain text from i.e. download the HTML and then using HAP extract the text and then automatically save the result inside the dB.

I would like for my program to navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines and multiple url links inside of it. I know how to make the webbrowser1.navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines, however I want my webbrowser to navigate to each url every 1-1.5 seconds once button1 is clicked. Yes, my webbrowser1 will navigate to the specified urls via the textbox1.text (multilines) with a button click, but I need the webbrowser1 to navigate in a order sequence from top to bottom of Textbox1.text (multiplelines) every 1 second. Here is the current code that I have to navigate via multilined textbox1.text control in order sequence:

I can create them using Ctrl+T(webbrowser controls and all) but after that I don't have any idea on how to control them(let's say I select the 5 tab and I don't know how to make that web browser control to navigate to a given webpage). I was thinking of creating an array of webbrowsers but I don;t know how that works.

In my app I am using a web browser control, I am displaying a list of files that are there in selected Directory, when the file type is of some image I do it as WebBrowser1.Navigate(sFileName), the image is then displayed in the Web Browser Control, when there is Word Doc I had code that converts the word doc to HTML and it is displayed in the WB Control all good so far, now when the file is of type xls, xlsx I am not converting the file to HTML instead I just use the navigate command and open the file in Excel so that user can then edit it and save it on his system. Now the problem is lets say I am toggling through pages in Directory first file is Image so it will be displayed next when it is Excel file then it will open the file in MS Excel but the WebBrowser COntrol has that previously opened image, I want to clear that when the excel file is opened. So here is what I tried. [code]It navigates to Excel file but does not display text and the image from previous file persists in the web browser control.I even tried to navigate it to "about:blank" but it then does not navigate to Excel file.

I have a webbrowser1 control that navigates via Textbox1.text (W/multiplelines) and set on a Timer1 (every .25 seconds).My issue is that I need to navigate to at least 1200-1500 urls before Timer1.stop (), but my webbrowser1 seems to only make it to 200-500 max, before I get an error saying that my program is "Not Responding" and freezes.

I recently upgrade a project from vb 6 to 2008. Most of the code runs fine.I have a webbrowser form control that I use to navigate local files and display them with. (i have a file list box that you click which calls the navigate of the browser control). Most file types i have test work fine and display just as they would in a real browser window. Excel, PDFs, etc... so examples of files that utilize "plugins" like acrobat reader inside the browser work great. Tiff files are the exception. No error is thrown in vb, but the browser throws 2 runtime errors, included at the end here. After the browser errors are ignored the program continues execution but will just not display the file.
i can type the path to the file (eg c: estfielsfilename.tif) in a regular browser window and it displays just like it should, inside IE, using a plugin.Prior to upgrading, depending on what was installed on the computer, navigating to a tif would open the tif with picture and fax viewer, or display it with a tif viewer plugin.

I have writtine a program in VB 2008 that uses "webrowser1.navigate" in a browser that I created on a form in my application, so that I could add buttons for other functions on that Form and to load a web page with Flash content. Everything seems to work fine on 32 bit machines but, on 64 bit machines when the web page is loaded, Falsh content does not work and I get a Security Warning asking "Do you want to install this software?" and the software is Adobe Flash Player. IE is 32 bit (on 64 bit machine) and has Flash Player installed and the Flash content works for this web page using IE.Is ther some code that I should add or a property that I should change on the VB 2008 Form containing the browser that I created, so that the Flash content will work?

I have built my own browser 9see attached code) however I would like to modify the code so that textbox1 reads a txt file at start and uses the contents of that text file to navigate to a URL of equal value to the text with in that text file. All this should happen at the launch of the web browser form. Example of the text file contents would be [URL] Code as follows:

I'm using a webbrowser control to pull some information from a website. It works fine.I load the web page when the user clicks a button and then I pull the information from the site when the page completely loads. I have this bit of code in the DocumentComplete event.I am doing this for two different websites. So, my code as it is, looks something likes this:
vb.net
Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.website.com")
End If[code].....
If I add a second Navigate to the same WebBrowser control, and then add another Document. GetElementById line, using different variables, it doesn't work.Its obvious that it loads both sites and then it finishes. So, it never has time to finish the first load and then pull the info into the text box.Is there a way to do this? To load the first site, pull the info, load the second site, then pull the info from there?

Creates a webbrowser in a background thread, then is supposed to navigate to a url and return a htmldocument, but the navigate fails for some reason
NOTE: this is part of a class where you see ME.url or me. ... me.isrunning = boolean false by default me.url = uri of location to navigate to
Public Function GetDOC(ByVal url As Uri) As HtmlDocument
If Me.IsRunning Then
Throw New Exception("Object Currently In use")

I'm using a webbrowser control in my program and I navigate to a page that uses sessions. I need to delete them somehow and I tried to close IE and enter it again and it worked, the sessions were deleted. But I've done it manually, and I need to do it through my program, so is there a way to imitate the closing and reopening of my webbrowser control?

I am using webbrowser control to automatically navigate through facebook.Nothing malicious, just an experiment of sorts.Im working on a bot that that would extract the names of all friends on my friends page, open up those pages, extract their friends names, and repeat.The end result would be a chart of who knows who. A sort of 'six degrees of separation' experiment.I have everything automated up until getting to my friends page and I am having trouble extracting the urls from my friends page. [code] Now, I figure I can extract from <div class=fsl fwb fcb">, but Im confused as to how to go about doing this. On another thread, someone said it cant be done with webbrowser control, but im new automation.

I'm using a WebBrowser control in my current program in a bit of a bastardized way: I don't use it visually, I just use it because I'm more familiar with its events.
So, basically, I create a WebBrowser control and navigate to a page to login. Then, when logged in, I create a new WebBrowser control and navigate to a different page.
I've used this program for four months with no difficulty. Starting today, though, the second phase of that has been going really, really slowly. What used to take 3-5 seconds is taking 25-30 seconds. It still works eventually, it just takes a while.
Usually I would assume this was a server problem. However, navigating to the exact same URL in Firefox happens extremely quickly. Weirder still, within the program there is a user WebBrowser control -- I can copy/paste the URL the previous (not visible) WebBrowser was navigating toward into this user WebBrowser, and it goes just fine.
What in the world could be holding up this other "custom" WebBrowser? I don't even know where to begin in diagnosing this.It might be important to note that the site this is working based off recently underwent some changes -- but I can't imagine why that would affect only these "custom" WebBrowsers and not the user one in the same program.

I have a form with two web browsers. I have webbrowser1 navigate to a parent url and webrowser2 navigate to child url.
The page in webbrowser2 loads correctly but when I make a change to an element it doesn't also change the value in webbrowser1 as it should.
Should I be looking at cookies or something else?

I use the webbrowser control to navigate to certain websites and login and retrieve some data. For that I created a sub for each website. On the form i have a button that calls every sub when clicked. The problem is that I don't know how to pause or stop the process once started. If I quit the program it will still run in the background until all calls complete. I tried to use a thread, but that doesn't go well with the webbrowser control.

I am trying to use the Web Browser control in my vb .net user control. I am using VS 2008. Finally, I will be calling my assembly (.dll) from a web page. I wanted to display the usercontrol with the web browser control inside this web page. The problem is I cannot proceed since the Web browser control cannot be called from a partially trusted assembly. Using VS 2008 I have created a strong name for my class, also added the <Assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()> to the AssemblyInfo. But still the web browser control cannot be seen in my web page. Do you how I can make my assembly fully trusted so that it can access web browser control? If you have used web browser control, can you confirm if this step is really required?!
