VS 2008 Screen Scraping Or Web Scraping

Apr 8, 2010

Every night I have a program that runs that creates a natural gas report. In this report is something called "expert analysis." The is just text which is a commentary of the current Natural Gas market and because it's a volatile market there is new commentary every day. So also every day, an employee in our office runs a public webpage which displays this text, copies and pastes it into a webpage that is part of our system and it gets saved to a file which gets pulled into our nightly report.

The page that is in our system is as ASP page and it uses FileUp to create the file. We want to break our dependancy on FileUp (it's a SoftArtisans product, an excellent vendor, but we are trying to save some money). Right now we don't have FileUp because our trial expired. So every day I run the public webpage and copy the text and paste it to my expert.txt file all manually. Another problem is that the expert analysis is updated after our office staff has all gone home,

Here is my question - can I write a program in .NET that runs a page, parses the resulting HTML and extracts out the expert analysis all automatically? I won't need FileUp anymore becaus I can use the .NET upload control. And I won't have to log on every night to manually copy and paste the expert analysis. Is that what web/screen scraping is? What happens then the public page's format changes because they do maintenance on their site? Is it just like if I were to run [URL] and try to read the Moderator column of the ASP.NET forum? I'd be okay for a while (would I?) but then if the layout changed I wouldn't find the Moderator anymore?

Security :: Screen Scraping On A Secure Site?

Jan 7, 2010

I'm trying to write a small application to collect(Scrape) one piece of data from a web site. I would like to be able to simply run the app and it will open the page, find the one piece of data and display it. So far so good...my problem is that the web site is a secure site, meaning I have to provide a user name and password. I've searched all over the web, found many discussions but have yet to find anything that provides specifics on how to accomplish this. I understand a little bit about tokens etc, but I'm really looking for a detailed description of how to do this. Please feel free to direct me to a different forum if I'm in the wrong place.

Web Forms :: Screen-scraping Get Null From A Site?

Jan 18, 2010

I am building a site that need to scrape information from a partner site. Now my scraping code works great with other sites but not this one. It is a regular .html site. My thoughts is that it might be generated some how with php (site is build with php).

If it matters here is my code I use. The htmlDocument is htmlAgilityPack but that has nothing to do with it. Result is null on the site I try.

[Code]....

this is from the w3 validator, might have something with this? The site checked is this

[URL]

I am unable to validate this document because on line 422 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "xA9" does not map to Unicode""

Web Forms :: HTML Page Scraping - Picks Up The Values Between The Tag But Not The Signs In Front Of It?

Jul 29, 2010

I seem to be having some challenges with the data I am retriveing from a Webpage using the Webclient class. The code works fine, however I observe that the regular expression is not picking up the negative or positive sign in the Daily_Movement data. For example, a daily movement can be -0.31 or +0.31 but the code is not picking the sign in front of the decimal values.Here is my code

[Code]....

I think where the problem lies is the part of the code Regex r1 = new Regex("<span class="quoteData">.*</span>"); It picks up the values between the tag quite well, but not the signs in front of it. [Code]....

Web Forms :: Menu Control: Changing The Style For Just One Element?

Jul 25, 2010

I've just created a Menu navigation that's linked to a SiteMapDataSource (which is in turn getting data from a .sitemap file that I've created). It looks great and acts accordingly, but my only question regarding this is there any way to just change the style (font color, in this instance) of just one element in the menu item? I just want it to stick out a little more than the rest of the menu items.

Forms Data Controls :: Changing Style In The Gridview Row Depending On The Row Value

Mar 1, 2011

I would like to change color of the gridView depending on the value from table that is bounded to the grid. I actually don't show this value on the grid. I tried by using additional field with visible=false, but the cell is string empty in this way. I don't know how to solve this in some other way?

I used this code, but as I said the value is empty:

[Code]....

Is it possible to solve this by getting value directly from bounded table and not from rows cell?

Forms Data Controls :: Changing Datalist.RepeatColumns Based On Screen Resolution?

May 22, 2010

In my webform I have a datalist that displays images that are approximately 200px each. The datalist is set to RepeatColumns = 5, RepeatDirection = Horizontal (display 5 images per row). With the padding and spacing, each datalist row takes up about 1200px in width.

The problem is that if a user with a 1024x768 or 800x600 resolution visits the page, he'll see the horizontal scrollbars. It's not really a problem, but, well...

Is there any way I can call a javascript function in page_load that will get the screen dimensions, and send that javascript result to my serverside so that I can change Datalist.RepeatColumns?

My javascript function would probably use screen.width and screen.height, but how do I send those values to my codebehind?

C# - Get Html Table Width To Fit Screen Using Literal .net Control?

Feb 24, 2011

I'm building a html table dynamically in an ASP.NET code behind file using C#. I basically loop through a set of data which is an unknown number of records and split a string containing all the values to make the required number of tds. I display the html by assigning it to an asp:Literal control. However I can't get the table to fit the screen - the browser is adding a horizontal scroll bar and the full table is well off the screen. I tried in IE 8 and FF 3.6.13. Most things I've read online about it say to set the width to 100%. I'm doing this but it's having no effect.

<div id="paging">
<asp:Button ID="btnPrev" runat="server" Text="Prev" CssClass="niceInput" onclick="btnPrev_Click" Enabled="False" />
<asp:Button ID="btnNext" runat="server" Text="Next" CssClass="niceInput" onclick="btnNext_Click" Enabled="False" />
