How would I...

How would i get vb2005 to visit a website?

 

1st you need to get a wrapper here
2nd Copy that code into a blank code file
3rd Make a form and add a button
4th Click on the button and add this code

Code (Text):

1. <div class="text" id="{CB}" style="font-family: monospace;"><ol><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">&nbsp;</li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">Dim wrapper as TCPwrapper</li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">wrapper.request("GET", siteName, Referer)</li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">&nbsp;</li></ol></div>

 

Is that wrapper only for the neopets site, because I'm looking for a wrapper that would go for any site

 

Any site, the wrapper is an easier way to acess the .net tcp control, which is one of the ways you can have .net use the internet. Any site would work as long as it isn't using https, ssl.

 

Hey skip just curios does that wrapper work for VB08? Is there one for 08?

 

it does since they needed to keep backwards compatibility. I have used a C# wrapper which uses the exact smae things in .net 3.5 aka 2008. Infact my ab was able to work with 3.5 so it should still work, and also you may want to learn a bit of threading so your program dosn't freeze when you go to a website

 

Would I add a class to my current project then copy the TCPWrapper code?

 

Yes you could, just clear ALL the code in the class first
