Use The WebBrowser Control To Access A Website?
Jun 14, 2011
I have been trying to use the WebBrowser control to access a website, nothing fancy involved, just a Security Certificate error message I can't get around:
The site that I've been trying to access is [URL].. By clicking on the "Login" hyperlink you are taken to a https connection.Internet Explorer simply allows you to click on the "Continue to this website (not recommended)" link which displays the Logon screen.Clicking on the same link in a WebBrowser control simply reloads the page as (I assume) WebBrowser has not been told that the page is ok.
I've tried looking around for the solution with no luck, it seems like such a simple problem..

I'm trying to access a secured website using vb 2005 and webbrowser control. I've got the credentials, the script can pass the login page but when trying to navigate to the second page within, the page is being redirected back(to the first page after logging in). The second page I'm trying to get to retrieves the data from a database and displays some options for the user to select in order to prepare a report which can be downloaded after the fields selections. And I wanted my script to do this automatically without user interaction.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub TestButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TestButton.Click
Dim wb As WebBrowser = WebBrowser1

I have a website that divided into 4 frames. I'm trying to create an application that will constantly run on my PC as a task looking for certain text in the HTML in a frame.When it finds the text it would alert the user by presenting a pop-up message. This is basically a monitoring website that checking network nodes. Instead of staring at the screen looking for critical messages I would like to be notified when there is an alert.

I have made an app that will check to see if a website is on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th page of google, the websites are in a datagridview. I am using five webbrowser controls but it begins to get slower and slower? As it searches for each website using a for statement. How to improve this code to make it run quicker, or even a better way to go about it.

I am trying to automate login and navigation to a website using the WebBrowser control. I can successfully logon to the site using the wb control but after that I can't seem to get access to the newly loaded document's elements within the same routine. I check for ReadyState Complete and IsBusy but they don't seem to be working. There don't appear to be any frames being used at all so I can't figure out why this won't work. I know that the wb control is successfully logging in because I can see the page load in the wb control. However, after the page loads I try to access the HTMLDocument for the new page (after logging in) and it is either set to Nothing or it's the previous page's HTML. I've tried putting in a Sleep to wait for the page to finish before trying to access the HTMLDocument on the new page but it still doesn't work. If I create a button on my form that accesses the HTMLDocument and click it it works fine. I can't figure out how to ensure that the entire page has finished loading within my routine. I tried putting a switch into the DocumentCompleted event but that doesn't work either.

I need my application to go to a website, press a button on the website to get data, and then get the data that it shows all without the user seeing the webbrowser control. I'm doing this for a little project. The user could normally just go to the site and press the button themselves, but that would take to long. So how do you programmatically do this?

I am trying to figure out if the text from a website is visible when the page is rendered in a webbrowser control. The text I am looking for is error text that shows form field errors after a bad post submission. I've checked the source code of the html being returned and the actual html for the text i'm looking for is present before any errors are made, and after the errors are detected. is there any way i can do a sort of .visible check on html elements in a webbrowser object, or even check the css that is linked to a particular div/label/span for the visibility/display style tags?

I am using a WebBrowser-Control to fill in a webform and then click at a button, this currently results in a standard Download File Dialog (you get these if you download a file using internet explorer), but instead, I have to catch this file and save it automatically with a by me defined name to a specific folder.I am trying to code a little application in vb.net which download the Export-file from my wordpress-blog, and I want to do this completely without user-interaction.Currently everything works, except the downloading of the file.I tried to catch it with the event System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.Navigating(ByVal Object, ByVal System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs) but I don't see where to download the file from?

How can I access data that WebBroswer1.navigate function is downloading from a website, while it is downloading it? If I access it once it has finished downloading it through the WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted function, it only slows down my program, since it has to wait for the website to finish downloading to the control before I can access it.

I have a question about the webbrowser control that I hope someone can answer. I am working on a document retrieval and storing class that uses HTML to display and save data. I want to use the webbrowser control in winforms using VB.Net. I only want to store the fields values in the html document, not the whole document. I am hoping to use labels in html and read them with the DOM of the web browser control but am not sure how to do this.
Has anyone done this before and could someone please provide some sample code on how to do this?

recently I've been going through some website login automation and ended up with creating a simple my own browser quite happily, to open websites and login straight away.
But I found out that I can't automate some of the websites I was going for, because the html code of the login forms is not shared and cannot be seen in the source.So I'll give you guys a couple of websites I can't deal with and please advice if it is possible to do stuff with them:[URL]...

i have seen google chrome, whenever you open a new tab, it will show you the last 8 pages that you have visited. I want to do a similar thing, except i have a vb.net code behind the .aspx file, which shall give me a list of URL's called form the database. When the page is loaded the URL's are displayed on it. what i need my code to do is to pick up these URL's, on the background open a web browser, take a snapshot of it and save it, and display it on the screen. dont recommend IFrames cause I need a snapshot and not an actual running site in the small snapshot.

I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

Im currently working on a project which included a webbrowser navigating to a website. Whenever it arrives there it disables me to double click on the Media Player inside the website to go full screen. Although I know this is possible as Ive seen that the webbrowser can disable clicking on Firefox. My question: is it possible to enable the standard webbrowser in Vb.Net to allow me clicking even if the website doesnt.
