Write A Screen Scraper?

Feb 7, 2009

I am trying to write a screen scraper. I found this code online that returns the html from a webpage. The page I would like to retrieve text from uses javascript, so when I run this on the URI all I get back is javascript and no text.

Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
'Imports System.Text

VS 2008 .Net Screen Scraper?

Aug 24, 2010

I wrote a quick web screen scraper in VB.Net. I couldn't believe how incredibly easy it was to do! Now I have all of this HTML that I can parse, peruse, and purge. I have access to this one site in particular. It requires a login and password, both of which I have.

Here is the problem: I want to log into this site programatically, that is, pass the userid and password from my program. Without this, I cannot get to the screens that appear after a successful login is completed.

I am thinking that the way to get around this limitation is to somehow TRAP what the site passes from my browser session to its server. Then I can simulate that action from within my program.Before anyone raises an eyebrow... no, I am not trying to hack anything. I just want to process the screens that come up after I log in!

Create A Screen Scraper App With Program?

May 19, 2010

At my company we use Auto Hotkey to do screen scrapes, I was wondering if there is a way to do something similar but with VB? Obviously it wouldn't be a win forms app as it's more of using send keys and mouse movements and cutting and pasting from the host software.

VS 2008 - Threadpool Example For Scraper

Mar 9, 2012

can somebody give ThreadPool example for application thats needs to get information to datagridview from thousands of sources? My application needs to work fast and without freezing and lag, but I cant figure out this threadpool thing. And would be nice if you could add this thing to example that when I set domainupdown value to 25 as example, it sets threads to 25. So its making work 25x faster. I haven't find any good example for this, only some C# examples but they haven't work after i converted those to vb.net.

Write A Simple Game On Which The Player Has To Pursuit Some Figures On The Screen?

Oct 16, 2009

I'm currently trying to write a really simple game on which the player has to pursuit some figures on the screen. Since i'm just writing the prototype version i'm using a Panel wich i redraw 1000 times per second. Now, i want that every level is similar but not the same as past level, so i created a Level Class that contains the game objetcs of Player Class and the Figure Class, wich are the ones that have all the movement subrutines. So, with a Timer, 1000 times per second, i get the input from a joystick, pass it to the player objetc and update the position of the figure object. All this stuff is reported to an internal Panel that every level object has, wich i refresh and then pass it ByVal to the panel that the player actually sees. The problem i have is that after the first level ends, when the second level starts running, i can see the last frame of the fisrt level flashing behind the figures and it makes the game run a bit slower after every level. I tried keeping a copy of the inicial state of exterior panel and use it to clean the one i'm using on the levels but it didn't work...

Screen Blanks After 1 Min Of Processing (of Excel File) / Refresh Or Freeze Screen To Avoid Blank Screen?

Jun 29, 2011

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

.net - Taking Photo Of Screen - Take A Picture Of The Entire Screen, Not Just The Focused Window?

Jul 6, 2011

Currently I have the following VB.NET code to make a screenshot of my desktop, but it only takes a picture of the active screen:

Public Function SaveScreen(ByVal theFile As String) As Boolean
Try
SendKeys.Send("%{PRTSC}")[code].....

The following code is how I execute the above function, if it makes any difference, which I don't think it does:

SaveScreen("C:Lexer_tracescreen.png")

Now, I need to be able to take a picture of the entire screen, not just the focused window.

Now I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen.

Make A Screen Recorder (not Screen Capture) Program

Aug 20, 2010

I wanted to make a screen recorder (not screen capture) program, but I am not entirely sure how to get it started. I have seen many videos and things on how to make one, but all of these just take multiple pictures and then don't compile them into a movie file, and I don't want to take many pictures (unless that is the only way possible.) I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I have looked at the Windows Media Encoder, but I can't seem to figure out how to use/implement it (yes, I have downloaded and installed it.) Maybe I can use some kind of ActiveX control?

VS 2008 Screen.GetWorkingArea And PointToScreen - Dual Screen ?

Mar 28, 2009

I have a button btnRegEx that when pressed shows a ContextMenuStrip, similar to the '>' button in the Find/Replace dialog in Visual Studio when you are using Regular Expressions. I have a ContextMenuStrip cms which I show using its Show(x,y) method.

At first I was simply setting x and y (the location of the ContextMenuStrip) to some point next to the button, but I noticed that when the button is close to the edge of the screen it goes off screen. I wanted to prevent that so I built some logic into the x-y calculation. When the ContextMenuStrip width is larger than the 'remaining space left' I simply show it more to the left. Same for its Height of course. I am using the Screen.GetWorkingArea(point) method to determine the 'remaining space left'. As I understand it, it returns the working area closest to the point you specify (to which I pass the button's location).

As long as I stay on my first monitor, it is all working perfectly fine. The problem occurs when I move the form to my second monitor. The contextmenustrip is still showing on the first monitor for some reason...

Here is the code I am using:

vb.net Private Sub btnRegEx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRegEx.Click
Dim p As Point = PointToScreen(New Point(btnRegEx.Left, btnRegEx.Top))
Dim x, y As Integer

[CODE]...

I have noticed that when I click the button when the form is on the second monitor, the buttons location (p) is calculated with the first monitor's top-left corner as (0,0), even though it is on the second monitor. This way, the GetWorkingArea function returns something like 1280, while the buttons x-location is something like 1700... So, how do I get the buttons coordinate relative to the actual screen it is on, rather than the entire dual monitor screens as a whole?

Screen Sizing - Max=stuck - Won't Get Off The Max Screen Size

Feb 11, 2011

VB.net / VisualStudio8 I have an application I've written that's been very stable. I had it set to exactly 1024x768 resolution, and to windowsstate=maximize (I think that's what it's always been).

I recently started coding to give the user the option to use the 1024x768 or to have the program detect the max size of the screen and use it.

That part works great... I'm using:

Dim MonitorWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim MonitorHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
Me.Height = MonitorHeight
Me.Width = MonitorWidth

What I'm baffled by is that the application now won't get off the max screen size. It's using the max of the screen, even when I do not call the screen resizing code above. I'm trying to give the user the option of the application only taking up 1024x768 (and placed up to the top left) or maximizing the application using the full extents of the screen.
