ASP.NET 2.0. Real time screen scraping, is it possible???

Hi,

I am new to ASP.NET 2.0 but am a competent programmer.

I am writing a screen scrapper to aggregate data from several different
pages. This seems straight forward but what I would really like is for
my page to react to changes in the source (page being scrapped),
automatically update if you like.

Is this possible??

If not how can I set my page to re-scrape regularly, every 5 mins for
instance?

All input received greatefuly.

I assume by re-scrape you mean refresh. If that is correct, then try the
following link:

I need to scrape specific information from another website, specifically the prices of precious metals from several different vendors. While I will credit the vendors as the data source, I do not want to use the format of their pages, and want the inforamtion consolidated to a single page of my design. I did something like this for a client a couple of years ago in ASP, but it was complex, and I do not have access to the code. A...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
