I am just getting started with web requests using vb 2008. I saw an interesting video and article on a universal file download application which i could use asis except for one thing the download address was specified as [URL]. If at the moment i didn't have a domain name but a static ip address could I use this instead. If so how would I access the file specified in the url?

I'm trying to screenscrape a website that requires a POST login authentication. I can authenticate fine on my first request, but when I attempt to turn back around and hit the next page, I get a redirect back to the login page (basically it's saying I'm not logged in).
[Code]...
I notice two things... first, the ORA_WX_SESSION has its quotes stripped from it (even if I attempt to force them back in between response and request). Also the XYZCustomerServiceUserName and XYZ values are stripped. Other than that, the session information is identical between the two connection attempts.

View 1 RepliesI need to check commandargs on the entry into an application. The value to check will either contain an ipaddress or a special case of '0' or Zero. I can't use he following because it will throw an exception on a valid ipaddress. What can I use to first determine if the value contains a value of type 10.0.110.65 before I check to see if the value is zero?
If (CInt(IncomingConnectionArgs.IP_Address) = 0)
I have the following code:
Dim ipAdd As IPAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostname).AddressList(0)
Dim strIP As String = ipAdd.ToString()
When I convert to String instead of an IPv4 address like 192.168.1.0 or similar I get the IPv6 version: fd80::5dbe:5d89:e51b:d313 address. Is there a way I can return the IPv4 address from IPAddress type?

I am writing a very simple program that connects to a accdb file (Microsoft Access 2007 file) and returns some results in a datagridview. Everything is fine. Now because we have to deploy this program in many computers i publish it so everyone we want can install it and have updates. What i wanted to do is to make the database file part of the program which i did it by adding it to the resources. My problem is that i do not know what connection string to enter in order to access it in my resources.
My previous connectionstring before i deploy it was this
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:l.accdb;Persist Security Info=True
What should i change in the data source in order to access the same file in my resources?

I am facing a strange problem with listbox. I need to scrab whois information. I used the following code to get source code of the whois query. It works fine if I use a textbox. But I need to use this for multiple url and therefore need to use lixtbox to loop through url list. Unfortunately when I use listbox1.selecteditem or listbox1.text it does not work. But this same code works with webbrowser.
Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=" & listbox1.selecteditem)

I'm building this class to download files in parts/sections/segments. In .NET 4.0, I can use this code to specify the range to download from
long startPos = int.MaxValue+1;
HttpWebRequest.AddRange(startPos);
and it works because there is a long overload for the AddRange method. When I looked up the .NET 3.5 version, I realised the AddRange() method allows using int only. The possible workaround would be using the AddRange(string, int) or AddRange(string, int, int) methods. Since the class will have to work in .NET 3.5, I'll have to go with the string specification but unfortunately I can't seem to find any sample code that shows how to specify ranges using this procedure in .NET 3.5. Can anyone show be how to do this?As the first code sample I wrote shows, I would like to specify a range of type long instead of int. Using type int allows requesting for byte ranges only up to 2GB but long allows requesting for byte ranges beyong 2GB.
The question therefore is: How do I specify byte ranges of 2GB or higher on HttpWebRequest in .NET 3.5?

how to write a httpwebrequest, however i'm unsure of how to write it with a if...statement.
