View source code!!!

View source code!!!

  ok.

  1) did you navigate to a webpage first in the webbrowser

  Me.theWebBrowserControl.Navigate("http://www.microsoft.com")

  2) did you do this to display the code in a textbox after the page was loaded

  Me.theTextBox.Text = Me.theWebBrowserControl.DocumentText

   

  remember, you have to wait until the contents of the webpage have been loaded in order for you to view the source/code of that site otherwise you will get nothing, as you currently maybe experiencing.

  Select the webbrowser control in designer view. View the events (lightning icon in the properties window) and double click "documentCompleted" to create the document completed event so it will automatically "fire" when the page has been loaded.

  in this event, do this:

  Me.theTextBox.Text = Me.theWebBrowserControl.DocumentText

  what happens now

  what doesnt work you need to be specific :-) Any errors if not then what doesnt work

  what are you trying to do View the source code of the current page in the webbrowser control if so, you will need to store the source code in some way such as save it to disk or something. However the DocumentText property of the webbrowser control contains the entire source code of the page you are viewing

  Example, saving it to a simple file on your computer.

  Dim theWriter as new System.IO.StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "\sourceCodeWebPage.txt")

  theWriter.Write(Me.theWebBrowserControl.DocumentText)

  theWriter.Close()

   

  of course replace the name of the control for your webbrowser correctly. This will save the source code of the page to disk in the same directory as your application

  you can right click the webbrowser then go to view source code as you do in IE. programmatically the source code for the entire page is in the DocumentText property.

  Me.theWebBrowserControl.DocumentText

  the document text holds the entire page.

  further more you can access specific elements/get specific elements etc... via the Document property. It contains things like GetElementById, or access Forms by index to get contents of that form and so on.
