How can i parse values from the scoreboard of http://www.cricinfo.com/nzvaus2010/engine/current/match/423789.html
But how it could be managed? i am stuck how to fetch data and store it in database
I suggest you start reading, this looks like a good place to start

It won't be easy, looking at the source of the page, it's all dynamic. You're going to have to pull the javascript apart to figure out where it's getting it's data from and use that. Conveniently, it's written in jquery.
Not sure how much data you are trying to get but there is an rss feed on the site http://www.cricinfo.com/rss/livescores.xml

I have a conception problem and before coding I would like your help.
My goal is to create an app that call an api, gather the data, analyze it, create a report from it and lastly send it by email.
I managed to get the data (as json) with c#, to deserialize it and to make my analysis.
I would like to know what would be the best way to create a nice pdf with the data. My goal would therefore to create for example an html template, that every time I call out my api it modify the content of the template and generate from the html a pdf.
If I think about html it is because I know that I can do my html exactly as I am please, but the problem is the conversion to pdf that sometimes destroy a bit the style.
I know that with visual code I can create html pages, and I would like to know if I can modify the content from a c# page if it is the same project.
If not, can you recommend anything in order for me to do a pdf exactly as I am please with the dynamic content
Thank you
I'm trying to export HTML content (tables) to CSV files using C#, and based from my research here, one of the best ways to implement this is through the use of the HTML Agility Pack.
I haven't started coding and testing this yet because I need to be sure if it's doable first. The HTML table from the website is actually getting push messages from the server so its contents are updated real-time, so a change can happen all the time. What I would like to do is to be able to export the table to CSV every after there's a change in the table (e.g. row added, row deleted, cell contents modified, etc).
I am not sure if this can be done using HTML agility pack, or can be done using C# at all.
Please advise and thank you in advance.
Since this is dynamically updating data it sounds like a headless browser would be a better fit for what you're looking to do. Something like espion.io or phantom.js. A headless browser would allow you to respond to these data pushes and capture the html for further processing.
I am working on a program to get proxylists from the web to a datagridview and then add an option to export the data to csv.
I am really a noob and want to know the way of doing so without connecting to a SQL DB. I just want it to get the data (done this already), show it in columns locally and export to csv as an option.
I heard it can be done somehow with LINQ.
Can I see an example? I just can't seem to find anything out on the web..
Also exporting to csv would help..
Thanks!
Check this library out, worked like a charm for me. Has some examples on there for you.

One of my first projects as a programmer was something along these lines, so GOOD LUCK!
At work we use the FileHelpers open source library for CSV manipulation. It is super easy to use and extremely quick to develop against with a small learning curve (which is really important when using 3rd party libraries).
I have a task at hand, read a database that was created with HTML-OS, i assume the format is DB4 or DB5. the task is to open and parse this database in a c# application...it can be ASP.NET or WinForms...bottom line is i need to extract this indexed data. below is a small sample of what it looks like when i open the file with notepad:
dbtype 3.046 = 0 T ¨j
I have some ideas on parsing with possibly using RegEx but i would like to see some ideas or a real way of reading this file would be even better!
Thank you in advance!
It looks like the database format is partially defined on their site:
The HTML/OS Database (PDF)
If possible I'd look at using their HTML/OS language to export it, rather than trying to reverse-engineer the database format.
You could make an htmlos page that would export the data from the database and store this in a csv for example. Then pick up the file from the other machine, after which you could execute something else to remove the csv file.
To answer devHead's question.. yes, HTML/OS accepts http posts.
(Just FYI: If you have any questions, feel free to ask.. I program in html/os.)
I'm totally new to C# and programming and was wondering what's a good way to grab data from a file and than entering it into a database. Keep it simple please because I don't know all the technical lingo yet. Thanks :).
