How can I save the whole site (any site) to a zip file?
So lets say I have this address:
http://www.marinij.com/Stories/0,1413,234~26641~2543663,00.html
I want to grab everything from this page, along with pictures and save
it as a zip file.... can I do this?

Normal procedure in internet explorer would be:
"file / save as"
then I would manually zip it.

How do I go about doing this from inside of VB.NET?

Thanks
Martin

Martin,

When you sure there is HTML code used and everything is in an unprotected
directory, you can try it using MSHTML, however when there is javascript (as
in the sample you showed) or something like that in it and parts are saved
in blobs on serverside or in protected directories, you can forget it.

Just my thought,

So you're telling me that .net is not able to do the same as internet
explorer does? Internet explorer "save as" option will save the whole
site, even with javascripts and everything.
How is google doing their "cached" websites then?

Click to expand...

That's crazy.

If you can click the link and see it in your browser, you can pull it
down through .NET code and store it somewhere.

You'll have more trouble figuring out how to work with the zip format
than the 'net.
 
Martin,

I do not know it there changed lately something however Google is as far as
I know almost unable to search in JavaScript build sites.

Thug,

You never saw a page where instead the link is a button. By instance an
ASPNET
webpage?
