String Convertion - Using Webclient Class To Get Its Html Source
Jul 8, 2009
I am scraping title of webpage. i am using webclient class to get its html source. the true title of webpage is this which apprear on browser "La rvolution" but when i extract it from html source using webclient class i get following string. "La rvolution du sourire juste"
I think its something related to string conversion. how to convert this "La rvolution du sourire juste" to "La rvolution"?
Following info on webpage might give you some clue which is content type. " <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />"
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'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]...
i can parse html source code and regex a few things, but i know the exact phrase i'm looking for do i still need a regex if i know what i'm looking for?
if (string = logged) then do the code if 'logged' is found in the html source else
This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td> <input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden"> <img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work"> </td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?
Trying to split a giant string that is the source of an HTML document after performing an httpget and read the lines into an array while removing empty lines. The following code does not work for me just puts the same string into the array at position (0) without splitting it.[code]...
I have a problem of getting the string from the html class. When I debugged the project and I clicked the button, httprequest was connecting to the site then reading the pattern string from html class to get string, but it filled as a blank text.

Way to space out the source code of a web page, having each tag on one line, without having to search for each tag ending and then making a new line after.

I am trying save a value from an input tag in some HTML source code. The tag looks like so:
<input name="user_status" value="3" />
I have the page source in a variable (pageSourceCode), and need to work out some regex to get the value (3 in this example). I have this so far: [Code] Which works fine most of the time, however this code is used to process source code from multiple sites (that use the same platform), and sometimes there are other attributes included in the input tag, or they are in a different order, eg:

I am writing a Windows Service to act as an internal Web image collector. I can thumbnail Web navigated to webpages using a webBrowser Control. But since a Service will not support a UI based Control like a WebBrowser control I have switched gears using the wrapper WebClient from system.net. So I am looking for a way to capture and thumbnail a Webpage.I can use the following to grab images off a web pager using webClient but cannot figure out how to thumbnail the entire page.
Dim imgBuffer() As Byte Using wclient As New WebClient() imgBuffer = wclient.DownloadData("http:// Webpage/Image") End Using Using mem As New IO.MemoryStream(imgBuffer) Using img As Image = Image.FromStream(mem) Me.PictureBox1.Image = img.GetThumbnailImage(100, 100, Nothing, IntPtr.Zero) End Using End Using End Sub
I'm here again asking stupid questions. I don't have really get this but i ask again but i try explain all better. Here is a website link and i want catch string from here.

I have two user controls that need to add a class atribute to the body tag of my page, however they currently over write one another if I just use Body.Attributes.Add("class","value") So I need to check if the class attribute exsists and if it already contains the value Im going to add.
If Not Body.Attributes("class").Contains("value") Then Body.Attributes.add("class", Body.Attributes("class") + " " + "value") End If
EDIT: The contain constraint doesnt return the expected value, resulting the the class not been concatinated, Example: add class "dog" then I a different instance of the same control tries to add "dog" but the contains("dog") returns false
Basicly I'm downloading XML files with the Webclient class for processing and caching in a local database. There are three different categories of data, each contains 1 to n numbers of XML files. To retrieve the XML file I ask the server with following parameters in the URL:
I am developing a program that gets the html source code of a certain webpages in a website.

Recently, I found out that I could do the same using Sockets. This time I want to parse HTML of those web pages SIMULTANEOUSLY. I tried parsing simultaneously on my previous program using multithreading but my bandwidth keeps decreasing as threads increase so, to make my questions short,
How can I parse many web pages' source SIMULTANEOUSLY without decreasing my Bandwidth? Does using Sockets in multi threading decrease Bandwidth? (If anyone tried)
How to get source/HTML code of the web page that is shown in WebBrowser1 when I click a button? I would like it to be written in Notepad or eventually in new form..
