I have one sample project to automate Internet explorer in VB 6.0. The same thing when I am trying to do with .Net its just hangs my Internet explorer document. I am not able to type or click on any control on the page.
Here is the sample code block.

Even i am not able to fire any htmdoc_focusin or focusout of DOM which was really easily accessible from my VB code.
This line is throwing the error; Public WithEvents CurrentDoc As mshtml.HTMLDocument Researching the error tells me that HTMLDocument isn't fully qualified. Isn't this fully qualified? If I change it to Microsoft.mshtml.HTMLDocument then it says it's not defined.
Below is is an HTML form and below that, is a vb procedure, "LoginExamp" that enters in the username and password. I am unable to locate the button however and click it since it does not seem to show up as a mshtml.HTMLInputElement. "htmlInput.click()" never runs. How can I adjust the loginExamp code so that the button is clicked.
I have given reference to Microsoft HTML in COM (am using VB 2008)
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement' to type 'mshtml.IHTMLElement'."
I want to retrieve all the properties like the class name, html id of every object in the web browser. I am getting the above exception when i try to direct cast it.[code]...
In my project i want to search a word in 10 different music sites and return all the links on the site, the problem is that i can't convert a string to a htmldocument.[code]
I would like to read a file from disk ( TEMP.HTM ) and convert it to a System.Windows.Forms.HTMLDocument.I know that I can set a WebBrowser control to Navigate to the file and then get its .Document property, but is there a better way, possibly using something in the System.IO.File space?
Bascially, all i'm trying to do is change the value of an attribute (such as the TARGET attribute of an A anchor tag) to "_TOP" if the attribute exists, if it doesn't exist, (if IsNull returns True) then I just create the attribute and set the value to "_TOP".The problem is, it almost always sets it without quotes around it, and even if i try to set it with quotes by setting .value = Chr(34) & "_TOP" & Chr(34) then what it does is it sets SINGLE QUOTES around the quotes I place (it's like a bad joke) and turns up in the HTML as '"_TOP"' (lol), and if I set it normally, its just saved as <a href="..." target=_TOP>some link</a> (without quotes).[code]I've changed the above variable names & turned vars into strings ("target") etc to make it easier to read for anyone reading.
I have wasted heaps of hours on this, MSDN docs are as usual horrid, there is no real documentation or tutorial on this stuff either. I've even tried using .nodeValue instead of .value to do the setting, but makes no difference. Also, I've tried (in the Else section) removing the attribute and re-creating + re-adding it from scratch to see if this would make a difference, but it didn't.Of course, quotes are important because if you try to perform an action (call a method) on this element or use it later, you will get the dreaded "unspecified error". I do this through the WebBrowser Control in VB6, but same principle should apply everywhere... C#/.NET/JavaScript etc as it seems to be DOM related).since posting we realized that if we pass the attribute name in uppercase, then the value is saved with double quotes around it. although this is not a real solution (just a temporary one), i am still looking for answers if anyone has one and accepting any thoughts you may have about this in this post. However, the temporary solution has created another sub question, being a post about the problems that arise from using this temporary solution. The sub question related to this temporary solution is located at the following link for those who may find it useful or interesting to read about, and for those who would like to contribute to this discussion further: Must pass uppercase to set MSHTML element attribute (.setAttribute) correctly, why? And CaseInsensitive .setAttribute doesn't work
I'm trying to write a function that can retrieve all the links from a webpage. I'd like to send only a string containing the URL. Basically, given a string of a URL, I'd like to "load" that into an HTMLDocument so I can access the Links collection. I just can't figure out that part.I've already written the function by using the Document in a WebBrowser. But, after selecting a link, I'd like to get its links, and so, and so on....while the user is still browsing the first page.
I have Microsoft.mshtml html editor. I set project settings to X86. The editor gets disabled on some windows 7 64 bit operating systems. Can some one provide a solution.
I'm able to retrieve the source code of a web page and store it in a string variable. I would like to cast that string variable into an HTMLDocument if possible, to make parsing its elements much easier.
i am using microsoft.mshtml.dll file in my application. it work perfectly fine on my computer. but when i tried on my other computer, i am getting following error message.
I seem to be in a quandry over an error that makes no sense to me.In following some examples I have found on the Net, I've been attempting to use the MSHTML library in vb.net to access the HTML DOM.[URL]...when I look at the error message, it tells me that memory could be corrupt elsewhere. I've attempted this line of code by omitting the "http://"portion of the URL, byt trying numerous web sites, and with various other arguments in the 2nd parameter, such as "", ControlChars.NullChar and "null". I've also reset my PC and created a brand new application with only that code and get the same results.I am using VS.NET 2005,version 8.0.50727.42I don't know if it will help, but the details from the exception object are as follows:System.AccessViolationException was caught Message="Attempted to read or write protected memory.

how to reference/add mshtml.dll to project as described on this url. It explains how to reference SHDocVw.dll but not mshtml.dll. I can't see it in the list and when I browse to the file on windowssystem32 an error pops saying I can't add it to the project.
Was wondering if someone could give me some direction on this. I've spent a decent amount of time on it and don't seem to be getting anywhere: I have a hidden field that I'm trying to parse out of an HTML document in VB.Net. I'm using a System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser control in a WPF application and handling the LoadCompleted event. Inside the LoadCompleted event handler I do something like this:
I know that I can select an option in a listbox within my HTMLDocument (which refers to a webbrowser control's HTMLDocument) using SetAttribute. For example:
However, I can't figure out how I can select multiple items within the listbox. When I call SetAttribute repeatedly, it always unselects the old one first.
I was trying to use HtmlDocument and a given url to pull in the html contents of a website to use. However there is no constructor for HtmlDocument and it's Url property is readonly. Is there any way to create an object that contains the entire DOM for a given url?
I need to Read a HTML File and retrieve Tag value and attribute value.In HTMLDocument there is no LOAD function to load a html file,but there are methods like getElementByTagName.How to load a html file in htmldocument class?
Is it possible to load HTML content into the HTMLDocument object without having to use the WebBrowser control? I have an html file stored locally that I want to parse in order to find out which checkboxes are on and which are off.
All of the examples I've found use the Webrowser. It just seems convoluted to have to use the WebBrowser in order to get to a DOM object.
I am using mshtml to parse HTML in my ASP.NET-MVC application. Works great on my development machine, which has VS2008 Professional installed. Works great on my staging machine, which has VS Express 2008/WebDev installed. But it throws a FileNotFoundException when trying to load the COM object on the production server, which has no versions of Visual Studio.
Exception type: FileNotFoundException Exception message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.mshtml, Version=7.0.3300.0,

I don't want to install Visual Studio on the production box. I have read a suggestion that running C:Program filesCommon FilesMerge modulesvs_piaredist.exe solves this problem but this directory does not exist on my production box. How can I use mshtml on the production machine?
I have a .NET application which is using the Microsoft.mshtml PIA. It frequently experienced exceptions with a message saying that the Microsoft.mshtml assembly or one of its dependencies is missing. Weirdly enough, this happens on some machines, but works fine on others! (actually, it works fine on the majority of machines)

How do I access resources in a .Net Web Project. I created a web project and then in App_LocalResources folder added a resx file "AstroWap.resx". Now how do I access values from that. The property My.Resources itself is not available.
tell what 'visual' designer was used when developing an existing a VB.net 2008 desktop application? What do I click on to tell what 'visual' designer was used? Also once I know what visual designer was used, can you point me to a url to tell me how to use that visual designer? need to change some of the tables behind an existing desktop application. Basically some of the production tables will be changing. The users want to keep the existing desktop (gui) interface since they like it alot.
First off this isn't a homework assignment I am doing, I'm making a customer database program for my husband.The problem I am having is that I need to be able to access a database without the need of an sql server.

it is a GUI application, and the only book i have on the subject deals mostly with console applications. I also added the data source to the project in visual studio. please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to correct it?
