I'm working on a project that scrapes data from government websites. I've noticed that whenever I use WebClient it doesn't always get the whole HTML code. Even when I get the robots.txt file it doesn't return everything. For example, http://www.bbc.co.uk/robots.txt has 80 lines but I'm only getting 13 lines.
If an HTML block uses "display: none" in the style I can't get anything between the hidden HTML blocks.Here is the sample code I'm using:[code]...
why the code below fails to retrieve the html
Dim WebReqeust As WebClient = New WebClient
Dim URL as string = "http://www.professionalorganizervannuys.com"
Dim WebPage As String = WebReqeust.DownloadString(URL)
It fails on this particular URL.

When I go to webcrawler.com and search for something, then look at the source code, a chunk of HTML similar to this displays the search results:
<div id="webResults">
<div class="searchResult webResult">
<a class="resultTitle" data-icl-coi="540" data-icl-cop="results-main" href=[website] target="_blank">[title]</a>
[code]....
But when I use WebClient.DownloadString to read the source code to a textbox, I only get this:
<div id="webResults">
</div>
There's nothing. All of the webresults have been removed.How come I can view the code in my internet browser but not on my application?? I even used an InStr method to confirm that the results weren't contained in the generated code.
I have a full source code of a webpage. The following code on richtextbox1 from a webpage that is relevant to what we need.

I'm getting a string response from a server using a simple call of the Webclient.DownloadString() method, the returned string is something like this:
"snakeu003Cbu003E eyesu003C/bu003E"
how can I convert that in whatever those codes means?
I have used .NET and ShDocVw for years to grab data off webpages without any issues I couldn't overcome. This website has me beat though. It seems like such as easy task to grab the titles and other information off a library search page, but I can't see the data to be able to grab it. Usually, I just look in the DOM, but the data wasn't there. I did a view source, but the data wasn't there.
View 1 RepliesI need to grab some data from a webpage but for me the main problem is I can't grab the data the way I want. I want to grab the data in a listview control but my code is fetching all data within any span tag (span class "inputFieldLabel" which is not required) in a single column of a listview control. I am giving the format (source) of the webpage below and my coding in vb.net (2008),
<br>
<span class="inputFieldLabel">Following Are ...</span>
<span class="inputFieldLabel">01/02/2011</span>
<span class="inputFieldLabel">And</span>

I just went from Visual Basic 6 to Visual Basic .NET 2008 Express Edition.

Probably a simple question but I cant figure it out. I have a webbrowser control, which navigates to a URL where it logs in, then a different URL where theres some information I need. I would like to save this page as an HTML document. I can navigate to the page easily, so is there any way to tell the webbrowser to save the current page as an HTML document?

I've search numerous hours, but I haven't been able to find the appropriate solution. What I want to do: Get the html of a certain webpage (Lets say in this case url...this html within my wpf application, so that you can see the content of the page you requested. Then I want to be able to trigger events on the html that has been loaded from the URL. Like I want you to be able to click on a certain node in the HTML and I want to be able to link this node to a certain value. Basically a crawler application that let's you request a page, see the page in a control and allows you to click in the loaded HTML and link values to predefined values you set. So basically I want to be able to get a webpage displayed within my application and be able to trigger events on the html (For example a click on the html which would need me to know on what node you clicked in the html, or for example be able to edit the html by clicking in it).

View 3 RepliesI decided it's time to migrate from VB6 to VB.NET and am currently translating my radio player but have run into several issues so I might be on this forum for the rest of the day... Anyway, in VB6 I used Inet to get the source of a PHP page that had the current song that was playing on the SHOUTcast stream. I can't seem to get Inet to work and figured I would just look for another method so I wouldn't need to pack msinet.ocx along with the finished product.
How can I get the source of the PHP page and store it in a variable or textbox/label.
