Problem 1
hi i have made an application for a website now i got a news section on the application which i want to load like a text file from a website and it puts the text from that file into a label on my application

to summarise

(text file from website or text from a website ) --->gets data and sends to my application -->to news section on my application which then shows up to the users.

i arent sure but i thought it could be like this? if iam going wrong with wot iam doing here just correct me, and if the website iam trying to load from isnt the sort needed just put a temporary one in please.all i need this this part sorting.

"Label1.Text = System.Uri.UriSchemeFile.Contains("www.forums.star-fury.com/thread.php?tid=12280&start=0")"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 2
i want a auto refresh button on my application browser which refreshes the page every 5 minutes please can someone help me out here?

ok, for problem 1, have you considered RSS?
otherwise, you'de be stuck parsing html which is not my cup o tea.
With RSS, you can use the XML parser. or someting similar.

hmmm i dont see how i could incorparate that in to application, and i aren't sure what you mean by rss?

could you talk me through the detail.

also is there any other ways of doing problem 1 such as it loading like a .....txt file from the internet ,then loading that into the update box?

thanks for the reply

you mentioned there was an application.

in the application, what is the code?

or, dont you have any code?

[Porkie999]

the application is pritty much done however i just finishing the main section which is the news part.all the coding is there but i just need the code for the load announcemnts into a label1 from a website.its probably a simple 1 line of code but i just dont see how i can do it as iam new to codeing.

any help with this or the autorefresh button will be greatly appreciated

"Label1.Text = System.Uri.UriSchemeFile.Contains("www.forums.star-fury.com/thread.php?tid=12280&start=0")"

all i want is a line like this but this is wrong .it basically just loads the line from "www.forums.star-fury.com/thread.php?tid=12280&start=0" and is meant to get the text from here and imports it into my label when my application starts
