RE: Web content access

My problem though, is how do I access the remote page? I thought of using
javascripts' Navigate or location Method or property but all that does is
redirect to the provided url. I need to grab the information on the remote
page, stuff it into a string and parse it while remaining at the local or
rather current page without being redirected. Do you know of a Library in
..NET or of the proper javascript method to use inorder to accomplish my
requirements?

Hello everyone,

It has been a while and I need some help. I need to access specific
information on a third party web site and return that specific information on
a web site I am working on. Is there a library or namespace I can use that
will provide support for such a feature or do I have to use client-side
scripting, namely the navigate function in javascript. Any help in this
matter will be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

RE: Web content access

Howdy,

Sorry for my late reply. It's quite simple:

System.Net.WebR equest request =
System.Net.WebR equest.Create(" http://www.microsoft.c om/en/us/default.aspx");

request.Method = "GET";
System.Net.WebR esponse response = request.GetResp onse();
System.IO.Strea m stream = response.GetRes ponseStream();

System.IO.Strea mReader reader =
new System.IO.Strea mReader(stream) ;
System.Text.Str ingBuilder html =
new System.Text.Str ingBuilder(read er.ReadToEnd()) ;

// do something with the html returned for the page

RE: Web content access

Thank you for your reply nevertheless. I figured it out but I used
HttpWebRequest with streamreader and used the post method as opposed to the
get method.

Everything is working fine except now I am stuck with the monotonous task of
parsing the HTML to get the elements I need. It is specially difficult
because the elements I need do not have ID's so I have to use Regex and do
some pattern matching.
:-S boring stuff. I hate Regular Expressions.
