Httpagility Pack Scraping Between Broken Tag?
Jun 2, 2012
i need to scrape a p tag which has h3 tag after it but does not have a closing p tag. It looks like this :
<script ad>asdasdasd</script>
<p>Translation companies are
-----------------------
-----------------------
<h3 class="this_class">mind blown site</h3>
There is no </p> tag so i cannot parse it completely. Now i have two questions :
1) can this be parsed using httpagility xpath ?
2) i have a function to find text between two strings (getbetween). But i have a doubt - If i use "asdasdasd" and " is it always 100% that vb.net will use the script tag which is just above h3 because there are 2-3 same lines - "asdasdasd"

I have browsed through many posts on this and have tried some of the suggestions but still not understanding it fully. I would like to scrape html pages that have some script running that usually executes the script to display a link after clicking. Some mentioned firebug and others talked about reverse engineering the code I need. But after trying reverse engineering I still dont see how to get the data after tracing the script function.[code]I am using vb.net and some sites were easy using firebug where looking at the script I was able to pull the data that I needed. What woudl I do in this scenario? the link is url... and the categories are what I am trying to access. Notice the url does not change.

I have a windows forms application that scrapes a website to retrieve some data. I would like to implement the same functionality as a windows service. The reason for this is to allow the program to run 24/7 without having a user signed in.
To that end, my current version of the program uses a web browser control (system.windows.forms.webbrowser) to navigate the pages, click the buttons, allow scripts to do their thing, etc. I cannot figure out a way to do the same without the web browser control, but the web browser control cannot be instantiated in a windows service (because there is no user interface in a web service).

I was amazed with how little documentation or examples are out there for checking the pagerank for a website using vb.net . I was hoping that someone might have some example code or other resources regarding how to do this (using toolbarqueries.google.com - not by scraping data from a 3rd party website).

I'm using Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", "2; url=default.aspx") To send users back to the home page after they log in or log out and it works. But, on the contact us page it fails and this is what it says: The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.Requested URL: /default.aspx, 2; url=default.aspx The weird thing is this doesn't happen in debug, only on the live site. It looks like it's appending the header twice somehow...

When I click the "Publish" tab for the project, I get the following message: An error occurred trying to load the page, The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application.When I right-click the project and select "Publish," I get the same error Error: The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application. ========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== ========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========If I do things manually using MageUI, everything works fine.I have attempted the "Repair" option from the VS Setup, but this has not resolved the problem.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has experienced the same problem as i. I have tried using open process with ReadProcessMemory and have been getting the same darn return value back (OpenProcess return value = 373662154752) and i dont know why.I tried even changing the processID to a bogus value and i get the same handle back! i find that really weird and frusterating. Anyways here is a snipet of my code.
[Code]...
I also want to mention that i have tried changing the Access rights to PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS and received same damn value... Any help on getting it to work would be appreaciated. Also i am working under windows 7 X64(Bit) if that makes any difference.
P.S If you have questions to why im using these api functions, its to do with creating a program to save information from stored buffers of a flight simulation software at bombardier where i work. All software has been given to me in order to build this program.

After over a year of debugging and searching I have come to the conclusion that the AxWindowsMediaPlayer PlayStageChange event is either broken or (almost) useless. I am not the only one that has come to this conclusion [URL]
Let's start with the official documentation for the PlayStateChange event: "Windows Media Player states are not guaranteed to occur in any particular order. Furthermore, not every state necessarily occurs during a sequence of events. You should not write code that relies upon state order." I have been a top level software developer for 25 years and I don't recall ever seeing documentation that officially states that a certain function cannot actually be relied upon in a repeatable fashion. I'm all for multi-threading but this is a bit astounding to say the least. I can only assume that this event is actually exposed soley for logging status.

We've recently upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010. The conversion of our vb.net Windows Forms app went well, but we're now having big problems with the forms designer.retty much any change to the layout of a form (sometimes just a solution rebuild) will work once, but on recompile, the IDE designer refuses to display the form, the error message being a null-reference exception (with no details as to what).Closing and restarting VS2010 will cure it, but only for one compile cycle - and it's obviously not practical to close and reopen every time. Closing and reopening the form does not fix it.
