Add WebControl to a .NET web service

[bramirez]

Greetings,

I'd like to create a web service that uses a reference to the
Microsoft Internet Control. Is this possible? I've already created
VB.NET application that essentially scrapes the contents of an HTML
page. It works perfectly. I would now like to add the same
functionality to a web service.

This is what I have so far, but doesn't work. Complains about the
webbrowser not being initialized...

Dim ww As SHDocVw.WebBrowserClass
ww = New SHDocVw.WebBrowserClass()

ww.Navigate("http://www.yahoo.com")

I've heard of references to executing the required dll's so that they
are running on the server and then access them via the web service.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Baldy

Hi,

You can use .Net WebRequest and WebResponse to get site HTML instead of
using COM object.
