VS 2010 Why Does WebClient.DownloadString Remove Part Of HTML's Source

Nov 13, 2011

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.

WebClient.DownloadString Not Getting Whole HTML String

Nov 11, 2010

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]...

Html Source Code Doesn't Show Html But In Firebug Inspect Element Html Is There?

Jan 10, 2012

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?

Html - VB Basic RegEx - Save Value From An Input Tag In HTML Source Code

Feb 16, 2011

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:

<input class="someclass" type="hidden" value="3" name="user_status" />

I just dont understand regex enough to cope with these situations.

Thumbnail A WebPage Using WebClient Class?

Feb 9, 2009

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

Asp.net - Checking A Html Elements Class Attributes Value Contains "String"

Nov 10, 2010

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

Get HTML Page Source Using SOCKETS?

May 4, 2012

I am developing a program that gets the html source code of a certain webpages in a website.

I already developed one program that does so here's the code

Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(TextBox2.Text)
Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()

[Code]....

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)
