Is web page access possible?

[Guest]

Hi,

I've been playing with an idea in my head but don't actually know if it's
possible, so I thought I'd post the qustion here and see if anyone knows how?

Is it possible to type some text into a textbox then get your app to put
this text into a web based textbox, then get the text from the resulting
webpage and paste it into a richtextbox.

for example, I type "Surfing" into a textbox and click OK. "Surfing" would
then be dropped into Google's Seach Textbox. Google performs the search and
from the results the text of googles page is dropped back into my app in a
rich textbox.

Cheers for any advice
Niels

There are more ways,

A little example of one of them

Open a new windows application project

In the toolbox rightclick and select add/Remove items

In the customize toolbox select Com and in that Microsoft Webbrowser

When that is in the toolbox drag it to your form
Drag also a button to your form.

Then this code and you have a mini Webbrowser.

\\\
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.AxWebBrowser1.Navigate2("
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=surfing&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=
")
End Sub
///

I hope this helps a little bit?

Take a look at the 'HttpWebRequest' class. You can use the HTTP 'POST'
command to send the query.

In addition to the other comments, if you're specifically looking to query
Google, then you can use Google's web services for that purpose.

Niels. This sounds interesting. Were you able to do this to any extent. If
so could you post your solution or email it to me?

Hi,

Take a look at string.replace and regex.replace.

I think this might be the correct answer to a different question.
