That is usually how I insert into SQL. The CSV data can be split using the string.split method and if you parametrize the queries you will avoid SQL injection but still be susceptible to spammers so you will need to HTML encode any input.

It is fairly difficult concept described in the "Beginning ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB" book published by Wrox in Chapters:5, 9, 11, and 12.

Dunno, depends on how the information is presented on the page. One such page I scrape for data has the data I want in a table. The code I use to get the page is:

System.Net.HttpWebRequest req = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest) System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create ( theurl ) ;
                
req.CachePolicy = new System.Net.Cache.RequestCachePolicy ( System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.NoCacheNoStore ) ;
 
using ( System.Net.HttpWebResponse rsp = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse) req.GetResponse() )
{
    string res = ( new System.IO.StreamReader ( rsp.GetResponseStream() ) ).ReadToEnd() ;
 
    // Then I use a Regular Expression to extract what I want
    // and insert it to the database.
}

I make no claims that this technique is "good", only that it does what I want for a rather unimportant Windows Service.

Thank you very much for your response.Its much appreciated.Each of the data are in a qutation and are separated by comma.

Can you please give me a little tip on how to use the regular exression to trancate the value and assign it to the data field?

Many thanks,

Regards

Not without seeing the page.

As mentioned, the data I scrape is in a table, so the page contains:

<td width="473" class="playlist">4:08 pm - The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love<br>4:10 pm - The Doors - Break On Through<br>4:13 pm - Meat Loaf - Paradise By the Dashboard Light<br>4:21 pm - Klaatu - Mister Manson<br>4:25 pm - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Long Twin Silver Line<br>4:29 pm - Eagles - Those Shoes<br></td>

and I use a Regular Expression to match <td width="473" class="playlist"> the data I want <br></td>;
Then I split further on <br> and hyphen.

You will need to find such a pattern in the page you're reading.

Thanks so much for your help.

Here is the problem :

I am trying to read data from a certain URl .Every time you run the Url with Different param it gives a result like the following. For instance runinng http://data.com/data.aspx?datefrom=20090601&dateto=20090621
will give a result of a comman separated data like the following.

"john","wood","20090203"
"terry",'brown",20090209"
etc..

How will i read that and get it in to Sql Table?All i have to run is the above URL to generate the value.

Please advice.

Thank you in advance

How can I add 12 years minus 1 day to a date please?

So, for example, if the original date is 09/06/2009 (June 9th, 2009) the calculated date will give me 08/06/2021.

Did you take a look at MSDN? The DateTime class contains methods for this:

Something like this perhaps:

DateTime newDate = DateTime.Now.AddYears(12).AddDays(-1);
