I want to exclude them out of the list

MM, I will try that and see what happens! :)

Edit: Well I just noticed that in your code in the button method the variables are already known, but that is not the case in my program as each method will generate their own Url and price, so I need to make the return type varible before doing anything right?

oh yes, makes sense. I will try the proposed solution and keep you posted! :)

may I ask why it is treated as object? I am using web forms and not web control, does that make a difference?

Well, the thing is im not exactly sure how it is suppose to be done. Google only helped me a little but I dont know how I can get 3 return variables that are different type off 1 method

I cant seem to find any similar parameter to match since it is not showing in my visual studio :/

mm but in my case I have to type every character I dont want right?

Thanks for the help, managed to solve it by getting the xPath properly

I will try! thanks :)

mm i see. well my site is just the local host so how would that work?

Hi, I have tried that but im still having the same problem. It is not allowing me to drag the image where I would like to.

Hi, here is the screenshot of the design view.http://s622.photobucket.com/user/kidown/media/backgroundpic.jpg.html

I would like to have that book picture to the right without having to seperate the label from the textboxes. I hope that clarifies my problem :)

mm adjusting the px on the margin seemed to work. now if I want to add a picture, is it possible to put it anywhere I want in the page? how do I do so because it will only allow me to put it in the same line as a textbox and acts part of that same <p></p>. Thanks again!

for reference here is what I have for the image: <asp:Image ImageUrl="~/images/textback1.jpg" runat="server" Height="161px" Width="173px" />

mm. well here is a screenshot: http://s622.photobucket.com/user/kidown/media/forbidden403.jpg.html

ooh. can you tell me why never enable directory browsing? :) mm its still giving me the same error :x

mm I did do that but now everytime I run the program it gives the The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory error. I did enable the directory browsing but did not work. hope it can be solved! :)

ok i added the css. i tried to copy the style.css of the template into the site.css (i think thats the one that is used for the program) but now gives me the "Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory." and i cant seem to fix it :/

hi, im afraid I do not understand what you mean. how do I check this?

mm would it make a difference if here index.html is in the project or not? i cant improve the question right now because im not at my computer. i shall update the question when i get home later. thanks

well this is also the problem with the default template.

but here is the link of the template: http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/stargazer/

Oh I see. Since T have the 2010 I thought it is a different version.

mm I see. I have VS2010 does that support merge being a more recent version or do I still need to get a more recent version?

mm I am using the database from visual studio itself. how can i update the version?

i see. i will try to elaborate on that!

I see. Any idea on what it might be?

Mmm I understand better now. Thanks for the help!

well its too big to fit. here is the txt file i pasted:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/gg71q401f0759ui/responsedata.txt

mm. i tried doing htmlDoc.LoadHtml(url) because that url is the generated one but it gives me URI format are not supported.

The response data i get is the page source but seems to be incomplete as i cannot find the div class item class in the response data. perhaps there is a limit on how much response data can be stored?

I tried that but now when it is trying to load the responseData its saying illegal character in path

I see. But the problem is that the book results variable is null (im guessing since html agility is not using the generated website

oh. ok my bad. Thanks

I see. But the problem is that the book results variable is null (im guessing since html agility is not using the generated website

I see. Well im a newbie at coding so its expected that the form is not good. thanks for the extra hand

mm. ok i shall try that solution out :) thanks alot!

i see. thanks alot i shall try that

what i am trying to do is using my web application to enter the book title or isbn number, select the criteria i need and hit the search button. the problem is how to input this data from my web application to this website

thats what i did the first time. mm i guess i mistyped the web browser name i gave it myself. :P

When i type WebBrowser.Document.Links i get an error saying "n object reference is required for non-static field, method or property. 'system.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.Document.get'

ok thanks . i will elaborate on that.

the problem is im trying to find how to capture the generated website link from webcontrol when submite a form in c#.

i see. thanks. I commented the search submit part of the attribute (invokemember)and it only looped twice. ill see what i can do with the debugging.

thanks for the help

mm is it suppose to show a commandline interface? coz it doesnt show anything. well if I comment out the code in the handler it doesnt loop so it must be something in the handler thats making it loop

at the end of the event, the eventArgs is empty. is this normal?

the whole event receiver is looping. regards to what is the debugger saying, what exactly should i look for?

i see. even if i remove the if condition it will still loop tho :/

mm i dont seem to understand what you mean. what do you mean add it once or remove it? the bool searchsubmit doesnt have anything to do with the attribute searchsubmit. i just named the bool that way coz it seemed logical to me. I think its better i name the bool something else to reduce the confusion.

thanks

its a WPF application using the systems.web and other related ones. I opening the app.config but the only code that is written is:
<configuration>
<startup><supportedruntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0">

im using VS 2010. thats the first place i looked. I checked each folder of the solution but i dont see any file named web.config or similar

hi, where can i find this web.config file?

ok i got an idea. i could use an Else condition to wait until the if condition is true. that would work right?

mm I changed abit that code. used an if condition if the readystate == webbrowserreadystate.complete. inside the if condition I transfered that filter availability code with the avList but it still didnt work :/

if (webBrowser1.ReadyState == WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
{
//Application.DoEvents();
bookCollection = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("filterAvailability").GetElementsByTagName("option");

List<HtmlElement> avList = new List<HtmlElement>();
foreach (HtmlElement avItem in bookCollection)
{
avList.Add(avItem);
}

pElement = avList.Where(avOption => avOption.GetAttribute("value").Equals("1")).FirstOrDefault();

if (pElement.GetAttribute("value").Equals("1"))
{
pElement.SetAttribute("Selected", "1");
pElement.InvokeMember("click");
}
}

im not sure what difference does application.doevents() makes if it is the code or not tho.

i made the if condition because it makes sense that way because the filter of availability option can be chosen once the search button has been clicked

So i tried using systems.timer to make a delay. The following code:

System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(5000);
myTimer.SynchronizingObject = webBrowser1;
myTimer.Enabled = true;
myTimer.Start();
myTimer.Stop();

the problem is the timer is not engaging. what am I doing wrong? It is completely bypassing the timer (as the 5 seconds are not timed)

thanks

i see. ill try that and come back with the results

i c. ok thanks :)

thats true but I cant figure out why the pList only shows one count. cant be because the option values are numbers can it?

well the pList shows only 1 count and its the All option value i dont know why. as it should have 3 values I think. considering the code I gave

yea it needs to be select and the form is submitted using the search button. that link will help alot. thanks for all the help you gave me :)

oh i see. thats why you where confused when i asked you about the pElement. the format was screwed up so i didnt understand very well :P

i debugged that code and it seems that even tough the price low to high is found, its not setting that option do i need to use setattribute or something like that?

sure, this is the code currently:

string entry = Titleentry.Text;

HtmlElementCollection theElementCollection;
HtmlDocument filters = webBrowser1.Document;

theElementCollection = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");

foreach (HtmlElement curElement in theElementCollection)
{
if ((curElement.GetAttribute("id").ToString() == "searchTitle"))
{
curElement.SetAttribute("value", entry);
}
}

List<HtmlElement> pList = new List<HtmlElement>();
foreach (HtmlElement pItem in theElementCollection)
{
pList.Add(pItem);
}

HtmlElement pElement = (HtmlElement)
filters.GetElementById("filterSortBy").GetElementsByTagName("option");
pList.Where(pOption => pOption.GetAttribute("value").Equals("price_low_high", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)).SingleOrDefault();

Cannot convert type 'System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElementCollection' to 'System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement'

the one line htmlelement pElement = (HtmlElement) is saying this.

ah i see. regarding pElement since I it is only being declared as an htmlelement and not used in the code directly(forgive my newbieness in this)

I tried that new code and it says that pCollection does not exist in the current context, what do i need to declare? where can i find this collection that supports linq? i have searched google but with no good answer.

another problem that it gives me is System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElementCollection' does not contain a definition for 'pList' and no extension method 'pList' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElementCollection' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

thanks and sorry for all the troubles.

mm i did try this tho it gave this error:

System.StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase cannot be used like a method

also how was pElement used in that structure since it isnt directly used?

yep thats exactly what i want to do. here is the html for the filter sort:

<select name="searchSortBy" id="filterSortBy">
<option value="popularity" label="Most popular" selected="selected">Most popular</option>
<option value="price_low_high" label="Price, low to high">Price, low to high</option>
<option value="price_high_low" label="Price, high to low">Price, high to low</option>
</select>

thanks

what i am trying to do is selecting the option: setting price lowest first from the filters of the website. maybe i need to use different html elements or something?
