I used a web browser to read the text from a certain website, but I hated because its kind of slow, especially if the website has images. Is there anyway to get rid of those images ? I just want to get all the text for whatever website I visit. For example let's say I want to read all the text for this forum [URL], how can I do that, and by the way I don't any Html codes or anything like that, I just want straight texts.

I need to know how to Read a text file that is on a website (online)
for an example:
I want to get the text from this text document [URL]
And i want it to be displayed in a Textbox
Well i hate Web browser, sometimes I use this code to check if the document completed and it stops there for ever.
PHP
While MyBrowser.ReadyState <> WebBrowserReadyState.Complete Application.DoEvents() End While
Sometimes it stops on that code and I don't know why!!!So is there any other method to read a text from a website, or if the code i am using is wrong, whats the right one ? I use this code to check if the document completed loading.
I'm trying to read the contents of a text file. Everyone says it's a piece of cake, but I still get error "404 Not Found" even though the site exists.
I'm using the following:
Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim myResponse As HttpWebResponse
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does work
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does not
myRequest.Proxy = New WebProxy("http://proxy address", True)
myRequest.Method = "GET"
myResponse = DirectCast(myRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
When I hit the [URL] the myRequest.GetResponse command passes the contents of the site into myResponse. However, hitting the [URL] always returns 404 even though it exists.

View 1 RepliesI'm tryign to read a specific attribute from a xml website using this code:
'this is the url im trying to read, tmpIn is a string that complete the url:
Dim url As String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=" & tmpIn & "&output=xml"
Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(url)
[Code]....
The problem is tmpIn takes diferents values (string) when the function is used and sometimes this works, and othertimes it gives an error (Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 9, position 15.), but is not because of the url, is when it tries to read the coordinates...

View 4 RepliesSo say that I want to find the word "Hello, world!" on a webpage. It has the ID "Text". Using a WebBrowser named WebBrowser1, is there a way return true if that text exists on a webpage, or if it doesn't exist, it will return false? The URL would be EXACTLY the same either way.
Edit: The HTML path to get to it is very long, so I'd need to find the text on the page.
