Ok well I am making a Yahoo! Name Sanner.So what I need to do is take everything in a list box and scan them through Yahoo's! databse and see if they exist or not.If they do exist I want the name added to another lsit box if it doesnt exist for it jsut to go to the next name until all names are gone through and scanned.If anyone knows what I mean would this be alotof code and confussing or not bad or what...Thx for help yall its much appreciated :)
Have you searched the net properly, coz if you are saying that so many ppl have made it then you will find some examples on the Net.
No ive used the progs theve made before but they would never realease source code or anything like that.I just wanna know if it will be alkot of code
What you should do is, first try to find out what format is their database in...becoz if you can get to know the format and the exact address of where it is kept then the job is quite simple. But if you dont even know where the database (that keeps all Yahoo Ids) is stored and what fields does it have, then no one;s going to help you here. Why dont you contact the company that has written that program that you said to have used or contact Yahoo.
Hehe well its illegal and could get in **** but you just have to go through a website
profiles.yahoo.com
thats where all the database is for the names so i know its port 80 and profiles.yahoo.com now i just gotta work some code out?U know how to do that?Thx brotha
If you know where it is stored, do you know the fields? And then you will just match the field that stores all the ids to whatever is entered in the TextBox. I have no clue as to how to match it, you will have to now search for it. If the DB was on Sql, or Access I could have helped but I havent really done matching the fields kept on a webserver.
Alright thx for the help man :)
