I am trying to use mshtml to parse a web page without using IE.
I create the HTMLDocument object, and then assign to it the output value from createDocumentFromUrl().
I know that this is at least partially working, because I am able to access the HTMLDocument.title.
However, when I try to read the output of the getElementsByTagName() member, I am getting length = 0 inside the IHTMLElementCollection object receiving the output.
When I take an IE.Document, I am able to see the expected output from getElementsByTagName().
What am I doing wrong? I have been googling, and don't know what else to try.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Here is the snippet: (I have tried different URLs that I would expect to see some <DIV> tags...
string requestURL = "http://www.google.com";
HTMLDocument ProfileHTML = new HTMLDocument();
IHTMLDocument2 ProfileHTML2;
((IHTMLDocument2)ProfileHTML).write("<html></html>");
((IHTMLDocument2)ProfileHTML).close();
ProfileHTML2 = ((IHTMLDocument4)ProfileHTML).createDocumentFromUr l(requestURL, "null");
while(ProfileHTML2.readyState != "complete")
{
Thread.Sleep(0);
}
mshtml.IHTMLElement2 body2 = (mshtml.IHTMLElement2) ProfileHTML2.body;
mshtml.IHTMLElementCollection objDivColl;
objDivColl = ((IHTMLDocument3)ProfileHTML).getElementsByTagName ("DIV");
