Remember, you won't be able to download content that's injected into the DOM via JavaScript or by making AJAX requests after the page has loaded, by simply making a call to WebClient.DownloadString().

That content should definitely be present in your string, starting at the substring:

<div Style="height:250px; overflow:auto; scrollbar-face-color:blue" >

Not crazy weird. :) It's possible that's being injected into the DOM by JavaScript.

You can get at content injected by JavaScript by loading the page in a (hidden) WebBrowser control, wait for it to finish loading (see events exposed by WebBrowser), and then access its document text property.

You could also use Gecko to do this. See this[^] SO answer for a link.

I dosent have the WebBrowser contros in the webService

Ravi Bhavnani 25-Jul-14 19:26pm

In that case, you'll need to inspect the JavaScript that's injecting the content (most likely by making an AJAX call) into the page and make that call from your webservice to get that data.

I recommend using Fiddler or Chrome's Developer Tools window (press F12 to show it, then press F5 to reload the page and watch the network traffic).
