View 1 RepliesI am making this program that has a loop that goes to a website and fills in a form within the loop. But first, here is my code thus far
Dim message As String = TextBox3.Text
Dim loopnumber As Integer = TextBox4.Text 'makes the necessary variables
Dim browser As New WebBrowser
Dim url As String
[Code] .....
But what happens is that the loop runs a few times then it errors on the setattribute line (line 19 above) with
NullRefrenceException was unhandled
And I have a feeling that it is not loading the page fully before it tries to fill in the form.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to fill a webpage in using GetElementById
Basically, the problem I'm having is that there are two textboxes that have the same name, and because of the way GetElementById works, it inputs the first textbox instead of the second (Which I'm trying to input)
I'm trying to fill in web forms automatically by using the vb.net webbrowser. I'm using code like the following to fill in the name:
Dim elementsInput As HtmlElementCollection = wb1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("INPUT")
For Each element As HtmlElement In elementsInput
[Code]...
The problem is this solution is not global. It will only work on text boxes with the name "OWNER_NAME". Writing out hundreds of variations for every text input there might be for name would not be very smart. There must be an easier solution?
how I can write a program that will work on ANY web page, no matter what the names of the text inputs are?
this is the code in the webpage:
<select id="topic_id1" class="createSelect" tabindex="3" title="Choose a topic (the best that fits)" name="topics[]">
<option value="">Choose a topic (the best that fits)</option>
<option selected="selected" value="5887581">Arts & Design</option>
<option value="5887601">Books, Poetry & Writing</option>
<option value="5887571">Business & Work</option>

I have a textbox that represents a primary key in my database. Because the values are nvarchars I can't automatically increment for a new insert. Instead I have to read a value from a drop-down, perform some magic, and create a new incremented value for the new insert.
I've written codebehind that does all this when the drop-down is selected. It works, in that it puts correct values into the textbox. However when I try to insert, I get an error that that field cannot be null.
I'm pretty sure it's because I'm doing this in the codebehind : myTextBox.text = newValue
which wipes out the binding the textbox should have : Text='<%# Bind("UniqueName")
How can I calculate the needed value for this field programmatically and set it back to the screen so the user can see it (and possibly override it) and still keep the databinding intact so I can create the new record?
I need to automatically fill forms in a WebBrowser Control. There are TextBoxes and CheckBoxes. How can I automatically set their value programatically? Language: VB 2008?
View 2 RepliesI am navigating to a website using a webbrowers control and I wish to automatically scroll the page after it is loaded. I have used scrolltop , scrollleft commands as set out below but nothing seems to happen.
WebBrowser1.Document.Body.ScrollTop = 100
WebBrowser1.Document.Body.ScrollLeft = 200
I have placed the above commands in a command button and wait until the page has loaded before I press it and also in the
WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted sub
Other commands such as
WebBrowser1.Document.Body.ScrollIntoView(True)
Seem to work ok.
auto filling data into webpages. I need to write a server side application mostly a console host app that makes some queries to the SQL Server database and gets a list of lets say students and their grades.There is a third party website that gets updated at the moment some peoples working and filling that data manually.
I need to write a program that will basically open that webpage, login if required, navigate to certain page, click on certain tab, fill the data and hit the submit button. I don't think this part is that hard but the trouble comes with a client side dialog box. At the moment there is a client side dialogbox that shows up when you hit the submit button confirming the action and I need to press OK on that automatically.
I am allowed to write a windows application if not a console application and also use the web browser control to load the webpage rather than opening and interacting with the browser. If this makes it easier than so be it.
I'm trying to design a small program for my home server that automatically updates an HTML page every time a new file is added to a certain directory.Example, say I already have 100 files in "C:Folder", and on the HTML page, all those files are listed in a table, and when you click on one of them, the file opens, say I add a new file to the folder, I want the program to automatically add that file to the list of other files, and put *NEW* next to it (newfile.txt *NEW*), and I would like it to say *NEW* for 5 days, so how would I go about making a program that does all that?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a script to register heaps of e-mails.I'll probably buy 200 or so email accounts but I need help writing the script. I've studied an intro to .net at uni so I have some knowledge but we never did anything like this so I'm having difficulty. I've scoured the web but nothing has seemed to work.The code I have thus far is:
Dim IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Navigate("http://www.showclix.com/presale/11366")
IE.Visible = True
[code]....
Each time the button is clicked the next email in the list should be chosen Each time the button is clicked the first name and last name fields will change as well to a random name from a list...And the form is submitted again.I think I should be right to get the script to call names from text files but I really need help with getting the script to be able to enter data into fields. I've had difficulty finding the names of fields and setting values in drop down lists.
