Using VB.Net to execute JavaScript

I am trying to pull data from a website into a database. Part of the
website I am getting the data uses javascript to display the data.

The only variable being passed to the javascript when it is executed is a
record number (Ex: javascipt:getDe tails('12345678 9')

Can VB.Net control execute the javascript? If so, does anyone have an
example of how it can be done.

Thanks

Best thing to do would be to automate a webbrowser control embedded on a
vb.net form. You should then be able to execute javascript that way.

Also, you might want to try and look at the code behind the getDetails()
function. It is probably just forwarding to another URL passing the record
# as part of the querystring.

Hello =) I have an object which contains a method that should execute every x ms. I can use setInterval inside the object construct like this - self.setInterval('ObjectName.methodName()', this.pinginterval); - but is there no way to do this without using the literal ObjectName? If I write 'this.methodName()' I get "Line 1 Char 1: Object doesn't support this property or method." in IE, and nothing happens in Firebird.

Hi all, I'm a newbie to Atlas (and recently ASP.NET) after coming from a long Java background, also have done quite a bit with an Ajax.NET/ASP.NET 1.1 project, but it was basically all javascript, nothing really having to do with ASP.NET... I'm attempting to put together an application that consists of several GridView controls each bound to some xml data. Each table exists in its own update panel. The two effects I'm going for are:

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,...
