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,
Sam I am-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?

Howdy,
Sorry for my late reply. It's quite simple:
System.Net.WebRequest request =
System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx");
request.Method = "GET";
System.Net.WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
System.IO.Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
System.IO.StreamReader reader =
new System.IO.StreamReader(stream);
System.Text.StringBuilder html =
new System.Text.StringBuilder(reader.ReadToEnd());
// do something with the html returned for the page

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.
