[Help] - Check if a webpage contains some text then do something (C#)

Actually going to pull my hair out if I can't work this out lol

Trying to work out how the hell to check if a webpage contains a certain string of text, and if it does, then do something (I know how to get it to do something afterwards...just can't work out how to CHECK)

In non-code, this would be:

if webPage.ContainsString("No Messages Found") {  //Do Something } else { //Do Something Different }

Bit vague on this I know, I suck at explaining these things :(

You can use a webbrowser control to fetch the page, then check its content with a regex.

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.
