Downloads the HTML source of a webpage using the MS WebBrowser control.
Inputs
A reference to a MS WebBrowser control
Assumes
I found many examples about how to download the HTML source of a webpage by means of the Winsock control or the Internet Transfer control, but not with the WebBrowser control. The Winsock control is too complex to me, and the Internet Transfer didn't work for me with pages larger than 5 Kb or so. I've found a one-line code that seems to work properly.
I'm a sort of a newbie about this topic, so please be patient. I'm posting it just to share something that I found useful.
Code Returns
A string containing the HTML source of the web page
VBcodersAfter navigating to the desired webpage, execute the following line:
myTextBox.Text = myWebBrowser.Document.documentElement.innerHTML
