Does any know how to get the html code from a internet site?

Thanks!

Private Sub Form_Load()
With Winsock1
       .RemotePort = 80
       .RemoteHost = [url]www.whatever.org/whatever.html[/url]
       .Connect
   End With
End Sub
 
Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
 
    Dim strData As String
    Dim ReturnData As String
    Dim Strdata2 As String
    Dim ReturnData2 As String
    Winsock1.GetData strData, vbString
    List1.AddItem strData
 
End Sub

I suck so that probably wont work, made it up on spot.
U'll need to make a listbox called list 1, but if you have ie, why dont u just do

view > source

Thanks for replying to my post so quickly!

I haven't tried it yet, but I will get back if it does not work.

Thanks very much!

It dosen't work. How do I get the source code?

I forgot to answer your question. The reason I want it is so I can get some information from a web site.

Thanks!

How about this...requires a textbox and inet control

Text1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.vbforums.com")

I wrote some code in this thread for downloading a web page using HTTP Protocol with the Winsock control. Check it out: http://forums.vb-world.net/showthrea...hreadid=100775

Please, please search the forums first. This sort of question has been asked many times before...

Hope this helps.

You could also use the URLDownloadToFile API function.

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias _
"URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As _
String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
 
 
 
Private Function DownloadFile(URL As String, _
    LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
    Dim lngRetVal As Long
    lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
    If lngRetVal = 0 Then DownloadFile = True
End Function
 
'[b][u]Usage[/u][/b]
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    DownloadFile "http://www.aol.com", "c:\aol.htm"
End Sub
