// Create a dynamic Webbrowser to get the HTML Source code from a given URL public String ReadViaBrowser(String url) { // Instantiate the browser Browser wb = new Browser(); // Tell the browser to visit the url wb.Navigate(url); // Wait for the browser to load the complete website while (wb.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete) { Application.DoEvents(); } // DocumentText holds the html code return wb.DocumentText; } |
