WebPage Object

The WebPage object is used to represent an HTML page for parsing and resource collecting. Features include:

• Full integration with the WebASP control. Fetch a page with the WebASP control and parse it with the WebPage object.
• Use the WebPage object to get all images, links, meta-content, or other HTML resource on a page.
• Use in conjunction with the WebASP control or use with locally saved HTML documents.
• Use the WebTable object for powerful HTML table parsing (such as grabbing the value of a cell).

Development Environment

The WebPage object can be used in many development environments including:

• Visual Studio .NET (.NET Framework)
• Visual Basic (VB)
• Visual C++ (VC++)
• FoxPro
• PowerBuilder
• Delphi
• C++ Builder
• ASP
• Office 97/2000

Code Example

How easy is the WebPage object to use? Check out the following VB example below, which demonstrates getting all images on a web page and saving them.

' WebPage object to use for parsing

Dim WebPage1 As New WebPage
Dim blnResult As Boolean

' set request url
WebASP1.Request.Url = "www.dart.com"

' get the page
WebASP1.Get

' set webpage source to html source from response
WebPage1.Source = WebASP1.Response.Body.ReadString

' iterate through WebResources, be sure to set WebPage.UrlHost first
WebPage1.UrlHost = WebASP1.Request.Url

For i = 1 To WebPage1.Resources.Count
   If WebPage1.Resources.Item(i).UrlType = resImg Then
      ' this WebResource is an image, so write to file
      blnResult = WebPage1.Resources(i).Get("C:\temp\img", True, 30000)
      If blnResult = True Then
         List1.AddItem WebPage1.Resources(i).UrlName & " is saved"
      End If
   End If
