I'm using the HTMLAgilityPack to parse HTML pages. However at some point I try to parse wrong data (in this specific case an image), which ofc fails for obvious reasons. Code:
How to check whether the content is 'parse-able' before trying to parse it to prevent the error? For now it is an image which makes an error popup however I think it might be just anything which isn't (x)html.
Here is a snip of my code:
Dim content As String = ""
Dim web As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb
Dim doc As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument()
doc.Load(WebBrowser1.DocumentStream)
Dim hnc As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNodeCollection = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='address']/preceding-sibling::h3[@class='listingTitleLine']")

I am trying to parse incoming data from a serial port that appears to be XML format but a few problems arise when going from a simulated setup to the real deal. I first made a this program at home using a serial port emulator and com port connector program that reads from a text file and then sends it through the com port, I then read it from the com port it is connected to it. My program is able to parse the incoming XML perfectly fine, I'm using an XML Literals syntax.
The problem I run into is when I setup my program with the device and try and parse the data that is coming out of it. The data I receive sometimes has a few lines of garble before it starts seeing my expected XML. Of course these few lines of garbled text throws me an exception, but even when it appears I'm getting a good clean start of my XML data my program still throws exceptions such as "unexpected end of line 1 line number (different lines)" or "multiple root elements line 1".
Am I going about this the right way? using XML Literals to process my XML string properly or should I use something else that will allow for not well formed XML? or am I just missing something. My device outputs data every 500ms and I can poll my device for stored data. An example of what I am receiving sometimes and what I am expecting is below. "The first few lines of text sometimes appear and sometimes don't" [Code]

I'm creating a vb.net winforms application that will take in user given strings, parse them, and print out labels with variable information. The given string will be used in all the labels, but the variable part of the string will change with each label.
My question is: is it better to parse the strings one time, then store those values in arrays, or to parse the string each time a label is printed? Which will perform better? Which is better practice? What is the proper way to test something like this?
I'm using HTMLAgilityPack in a parser that I have up on a server, but I'm having issues with one of the websites that I'm parsing: Every day around 6am they tend to shut down their servers for maintenance, which throws off the Load() method for HTMLWeb, and makes my app crash. Do any of you guys have a more secure way of loading a website into HTMLAgilityPack, or maybe some way to do error checking in C# to prevent my app from crashing? (my c# is a little rusty). Here is my code right now:
HtmlWeb webGet = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument document = webGet.Load(dealsiteLink); //The Load() method here stalls the program because it takes 1 or 2 minutes before it realizes the website is down
I am trying to take a string that I have marked up through vb.net code and cross-check it with the text file it came from originally. This is for proofreading the html output.To do this, I need to parse an HTML snippet that does not come from a URL.The examples of HTMLAgilityPack I have seen get their input from a URL. Is there a way to parse a string of marked-up text that does not include a header or similar parts of a well-formed webpage?

I am loading a text file, that contains about 1100 lines, and each line is going to be processed with HTML Agility Pack. From what I can tell, when it runs "doc.loadhtml(richtextbox1)", it throws the error. I also have tried to load the file into a string, and load the string with "doc.loadhtml(thestring)". It doesn't make a difference, still errors.
Here are is a sample of how each line looks:
<Site Index="" Name="" Group="" PR="" />
<Site Index="" Name="" Group="" PR="" />
[code]....
I am using HTML Agility Pack, however the above is what is on every line, about 1100 lines! For testing, I have a smaller text file made of about 50 lines before I load up the 1100 line file ;) There aren't any HTML, HEAD, or BODY tags! They aren't needed for my parsing. I am using HTML Agility Pack because it is easy to parse elements with. I can grab each value easily from each line.
I am not sure if maybe the error is because it technically isn't HTML? Meaning since the loaded code doesn't have an HTML or BODY tag, that it errors? I wanted to get this question posted, and while I am waiting on some answers, I am going to parse the document another way. Just curious as to what the deal is and why HTML Agility Pack isn't working. More of a proof of concept then anything, for my own learning and knowledge.
Here is the error I get (btw the on the doc.load() line, is where it throws the exception):
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Last Note: The routine is on a background thread. I have used multi-threading before, and have delegates created for deeper in the code.
I have a .net application that uses customerrors web.config module to display meaningful messages for errors. It works without any issues for 500 errors/exceptions caused by non-ajax and ajax components (updatepanel). However, in a scenario where updatepanel's asynchronous request times out, there is no error raised at all. I was able to see the timeout in firebug and come up with a solution that would at least display the error message as an alert and then redirect the user to the 500 error page using javascript but it's not quite doing what the rest of the application does in case of an unhandled errors like these. I basically just want everything to go through "LogEvent" mechanism so based on the severity of the error, it does the necessary work.This 500 error page doesn't have anything in the Server.GetLastError() for these timeout scenarios. Is this an expected behaviour? Can it be changed so I do have access to these timeouts in Server.GetLastError() OR maybe just run this error through "LogEvent" mechanism? Is there a better/more graceful way to handle this issue?
Below is my code to give you an idea, not exactly what I have in my application but pretty close.
Web.Config
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Errors/ErrorUnknown.aspx" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite">
<error statusCode="500" redirect="~/Errors/Error500.aspx" />

Is there a way to prevent the VB .NET editor from saving the project whenever IT LIKES TO ? It very annoying ; it so stupid that it saves things that I don't want to and that I didn't ask it to do .If I add a form and then close the editor , when I open the project again , that form is still there though I DIDN'T save it !If I change a declaration from Friend to Public and close the editor without saving , then when I open again the project , my modified code remains modified , though I DID NOT save it !Today I realized that if I delete some controls of a form and then close the Editor , then when I reopen it , the controls are missing for good ! It saved that modification by itself !
View 3 RepliesI've completed an assignment that requires me to search through two listboxes for a particular number.If the number is found, the text on a label changes to a dollar amount, otherwise a message box is displayed letting the user know that the requested number cannot be found.It works well enough, searches through the listboxes, finds the number, and displays the message box when it can't be found.However, the message box shows repeatedly up to five times.After the user clicks "OK" on the fifth appearance, the program crashed and displays the follow message."Invalid Argument = Value of '5' is not valid for 'index'.Parameter name: index."I don't know what's causing this, or how to fix it.I do use the index as a counter at a portion of the program...but I'm not sure where I went wrong with it.[code]Also there are five items in the second listbox...probably has something to do with it.
