.NET Forum / Languages / C# / February 2008Download webpage with images
Can someone tell me how to download a webpage complete with images and insert it into a richtextbox? Thanks How about you use a WebBrowser control instead? That should be a far simpler task; just Navigate(yourUrl) and you're done...? Marc Well I want to save it to a database too, I don't just want to view it. > How about you use a WebBrowser control instead?

There are various tools for this type of thing - a few leap to mind that would allow you to grab a page as pdf (ABCpdf, HTMLDOC, etc). You could perhaps try and automate the "mht" download from IE (=shdocvw=WebBrowser), but I suspect it might be tricky. I'm not /personally/ aware of any tools that to direct HTML => RTF translation, but google may have some hits... Marc It doesn't really have to be html to rtf, I want to be able to type in a url and have my program download that specific page plus the images and save it to a db. >> Well I want to save it to a database too, I don't just want to view it. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Marc > I want to be able to type in a url and have my program download > that specific page plus the images and save it to a db. Then either of the 2 cited tools should suffice; if not, post back? Marc I was looking at this program that does something like I want, and I noticed that they are using a webbrowser component to download and view the page. But what are they doing to store the contents of the page to a db, that is the question. >> I want to be able to type in a url and have my program download >> that specific page plus the images and save it to a db. > > Then either of the 2 cited tools should suffice; if not, post back? > > Marc > I was looking at this program that does something like I want... Sorry, which program? Was there an attachment (if so it got stripped by my reader)? Marc It's called Source code library: http://www.highdots.com/source-code-library/ It looks like they are using a webbrowser to download the url, then they are storing the information from the webbrowser into a database. Then they retrieve the info from the db as they need to display it. CJ >> I was looking at this program that does something like I want... > > Sorry, which program?

Care to ellaborate?

I think that you want a basic image scraping utility per URL. Something more like these two titles: WebGrab! by JSAC http://betterwindowssoftware.com/products-78076.html Adsen Image Grab (version: 1.2) by Adsen Software http://betterwindowssoftware.com/products-32348.html regards, Brian There is an actual WebBrowser control for viewing web content in your application. I'm not sure in which version it was introduced, but Visual C# 2008 Express has one in the toolbox. Hope this helps!
