I was already using a webBrowser control and was looking into using the HTML Agility Pack I got off NuGet to do this, but it is seeming like a pain in the ass...Also..I suck BADLY with Regex lol

You need to decide on which control you will use. I'll use the stock control here.


--- Code: C# ---private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)        {            if (webBrowser1.DocumentText.Contains("No Messages Found")) {                this.Text = "No Messsaged Found found";            }        }
That is all you need.

I couldn't actually get that to even DO anything lol (Although, it does compile...so might be something I did(n't) do.)

One way to not even use the web browser control should be as simple as this...


--- Code: C# ---WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();string siteSource = myWebClient.DownloadString("PLEASECHANGETOYOURURL"); if (siteSource.Contains("YOURTEXT")){// Your string found code here.}else{// Your string not found code here.}

Here's the project:

WebCheckStephen.zip (30.35 kB - downloaded 543 times.)

You can run the debug or compile it yourself. It's done in VS2010.

The WebClient method is actually better, but the way I have that there is a bit more visual with a control, etc. Also, you can actually surf with it.
