Examples
The following code example retrieves a named TABLE
from a document, counts up the number of rows, and displays the result in the Web page. The code example requires that you have a WebBrowser control in your project named WebBrowser1
, and that you have loaded a Web page with a TABLE
whose ID
attribute is Table1
.
private Int32 GetTableRowCount(string tableID)
{
Int32 count = 0;
if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
{
HtmlElement tableElem = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(tableID);
if (tableElem != null)
{
foreach (HtmlElement rowElem in tableElem.GetElementsByTagName("TR"))
{
count++;
}
}
else
{
throw(new ArgumentException("No TABLE with an ID of " + tableID + " exists."));
}
}
return(count);
}
Private Function GetTableRowCount(ByVal TableID As String) As Integer
Dim Count As Integer = 0
If (WebBrowser1.Document IsNot Nothing) Then
Dim TableElem As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(TableID)
If (TableElem IsNot Nothing) Then
For Each RowElem As HtmlElement In TableElem.GetElementsByTagName("TR")
Count = Count + 1
Next
Else
Throw (New ArgumentException("No TABLE with an ID of " & TableID & " exists."))
End If
End If
GetTableRowCount = Count
End Function
Remarks
If there are multiple elements in the document with the same ID value, GetElementById will return the first one it finds.
