Question

using VB.net or c#, How do I get the generated HTML source?

To get the html source of a page I can use this below but this wont get the generated source, it won\'t c

Answer 1

You can use this code:

webBrowser1.Document.Body.OuterHtml

Answer 2

You can use WebKit.NET

Look here for official tutorials

This can not only grab the source, but also process javascript through the pageload event.

webKitBrowser1.Navigate(MyURL)

Then, handle the DocumentCompleted event, and:

private documentContent = webKitBrowser1.DocumentText

Edit - This might be the better open source WebKit option: http://code.google.com/p/open-webkit-sharp/

Answer 3

Just put a webbrowser control to your form and you flowing code:

 webBrowser1.Navigate("YourLink");

     private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
           string htmlcode= webBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerHtml;//Or Each Filed Or element..//WebBrowser.DocumentText
        }

Edited

for getting also html code that generated dynamically by java script code you have two way:

1. run flowing code after webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted Event

 StringBuilder htmlcode = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (HtmlElement item in webBrowser1.Document.All)
            {
                htmlcode.Append( item.InnerHtml);
            }

1. write a javascript code for returning document.documentElement.innerHTML and using InvolkeScript Function To Return Result:

   var htmlcode = webBrowser1.Document.InvokeScript("javascriptcode");
