Hi all I have this problem.
I need to open a webpage in chrome and copy the content (the page displays only 1 line of text, no images or anything)
Page source would be ok(it's the same thing).
My c# software is able to generate that link and to open it in chrome (it's important not to use webforms or IE)
But then I would need to "get" the text displayed by chrome and use it in my software again.
I hope it's clear:
my sofwtare generates a link containing needed text--->open link in chrome-->get text content or page source--->elaborate it inside my c# sofware again (maybe copy it to a string or so)
I'm a newbie. Sorry guys.

This is more of a general question about whether or not its actually possible to achieve what I want.
The basis is that my app allows the user to fill out various tables of data for a preventative maintenance check sheet. They can also attach images to this sheet which saves to the temporary storage on the IOS app. Once its complete they then press a button which generates a HTML document through a StreamWriter. Through this StreamWriter I have created, the images are also appended through URL references to the images in the temporary folder.
The HTML file (Generated Form) is then presented to the user using a WebView. Once the user has checked all the information, they then press a button which presents a MailViewController.
The HTML file (Generated Form) is then automatically attached and once the email has been entered you press send and everything works as it should.
The problem I am now having is that im not sure if its possible to keep the images in the html document. Once you open the HTML file on the receiving device, the images no longer loads because they no longer exist according to the HTML file.
So basically is it possible to keep the images in the HTML file once opened on the receiving device.
Sorry for the long description but its needed so you get an understanding of what I am actually doing. All the code I have written works as it should but just wanted to know if this is possible or not.
Thanks

Use base 64 encoded strings for the images and it should work. Since the images would be passed along with the html

I am developing desktop application. I would like to grab remote html source. But remote page widely rendered by javascript after page load.
I'm searching for a few days but i could not find anything useful. I've studied and tried to apply the following suggestions. But I can get only base html codes.

Is there any way to get all data like html console's approach of firebug?
Thank you in advance.
What are you trying to do? A web browser will do more than just grab the HTML. It needs to be parsed (which will likely download further files) and rendered. You could use the WebKit C# wrapper [http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/] - I have used this previously to get thumbnails of web pages.
On the server that my application is being run on, a virtual PDF printer is being installed (don't know much about this yet, except it's from Adobe), and my application needs to use this 'printer' to create PDF's from HTML pages (a GridView mostly), and then redirect the user to the URL of the where the PDF is stored.
I've been looking at the PrintDocument object in System.Drawing.Printing, however I've read that you can't simply feed this a HTML page. What are my choices? The easiest option would be to be able to 'print' a given HTML page (choosing what and what not to print using CSS), but from what I've read this is fairly difficult, so I'm thinking about somehow constructing whatever object PrintDocument needs programatically, if that makes sense.
Any ideas on how I should do this?
there are some free/cheap libs for creating pdfs on the fly. I've used itextsharp before and it worked pretty well. Takes a bit of time to get up to speed in how it works but I'd suggest checking it out.
There are also printing services like Neevia DocConverter that will monitor a folder and auto convert whatever you put in the folder to a pdf, jpg, etc. you can set it up so that if you drop a url shortcut in the folder it will render the webpage at that url to pdf. it's a bit more of a pain if you want to do realtime rendering but works excellent for generating mass reports in batches that you want to post up to a website or email later.
We are currently developing a Windows Forms application in VS 2008 C#. This application is for reading long (200 - 300 pages) law documents, and it handles about 30 - 40 docs. The application searches in document text, switches between documents, etc.
Our customer has sent the docs in separate *.rtf files for us to "put it into the application". We decided to convert the rtf files into HTML, using the MS Word's "Save as" function, and then selecting "filtered HTML". In this solution, the application can show the documents in a WebBrowser control.
Our problem is: the Customer wants an additional "Pager view" function, where the user can read the documents like it would be a book. He can see the pages on a virtual paper sheet, and then click next page, previous page, etc. Like in the browser's Print preview dialog.
I have searched the internet for any Pager HTML viewer, but I haven't found anything. Could you suggest any solution or component for showing the HTML pages in pager mode?
In last case, we can hold the original rtf files too for Pager View showing. In this case, is there any solution for view RichText files in pager mode? (We want to avoid it, if it's possible.)
Waiting for your answer:

I don't know of any components that can display HTML in pages, but a couple possible solutions could be:
edit the HTML documents and manually separate them into linked pages (or hidden divs with javascript to hide/unhide divs for navigating)
convert the RTF docs to XPS format and use WPF's DocumentViewer control - but since your app is WinForms, then you'd probably have to do something like this:

(though someone commented on that page about a memory-leak :S that's something to keep an eye open for...)
