Get the latest html after ajax call in webbrowser control?

Question

There are lot of this kind of questions and I was not able to find a solution for my problem.

I have a webpage and after the webpage loads Ajax is called and it will load a table with data may be it takes 2 seconds.

I want the data inside that table.

When I try to access the table using document text It does not have the table HTML. It still have the initial HTML that has loaded before Ajax call.

webBrowser1.Update(); //Didn't work

Then I tried this didn't work

private void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) //Interval of 5000
{
    if (webBrowser1.ReadyState == WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
    {
        HtmlElement element = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("tableType3");
        if (element != null)
        {
            String webbrowsercontent = element.InnerHtml;
            timer.Stop();
        }
    }
}

Then I tried this didn't work

private void WaitTillPageLoadsCompletly(WebBrowser webBrControl)
{
        WebBrowserReadyState loadStatus;
        int waittime = 20000;
        int counter = 0;
        while (true)
        {
            loadStatus = webBrControl.ReadyState;
            Application.DoEvents();
            if ((counter > waittime) || (loadStatus == WebBrowserReadyState.Uninitialized) || (loadStatus == WebBrowserReadyState.Loading) || (loadStatus == WebBrowserReadyState.Interactive))
            {
                break;
            }
            counter++;
        }
        counter = 0;
        while (true)
        {
            loadStatus = webBrControl.ReadyState;
            Application.DoEvents();
            if (loadStatus == WebBrowserReadyState.Complete && webBrControl.IsBusy != true)
            {
                break;
            }
            counter++;
        }
}

In debugging I saw the table contents in WebBrowser1.Document.NativeHtmlDocument2 which cant be accessed because of internal class.

Is there any other way to solve my problem.

Have you tried listening to the Ajax onpropertychange event? I've recently visited a website that teaches how to handle a Ajax component onpropertychange event in webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted.

Here's the following code, I hope this leads the way to your solution.

(The idea here is to get webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("abc");'s dynamic content generated by AJAX, and show how you can wait on the onpropertychange event in webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted)

HTML Code

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-US">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title></title>
        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            $.ajaxSetup({
                cache: false
            });
            var aa = function() {
                $.get("ajax.php", function(data) {
                    $("#abc").html(data);
                });
            };

            $(function() {
                aa();
                setInterval(aa, 2000);
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="abc"></div>
    </body>
</html>

ajax.php

    <?php
echo date("H:i:s");

C# code

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser1.Navigate("http://127.0.0.1/test.html");
}

private void handlerAbc(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HtmlElement elm = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("abc");
    if (elm == null) return;
    Console.WriteLine("elm.InnerHtml(handlerAbc):" + elm.InnerHtml);
}

private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    /* Get the original HTML (method 1)*/
    System.IO.StreamReader getReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(webBrowser1.DocumentStream, System.Text.Encoding.Default);
    string htmlA = getReader.ReadToEnd(); // htmlA can only extract original HTML

    /* Get the original HTML (method 2)*/
    string htmlB = webBrowser1.DocumentText; // htmlB can only extract original HTML

    /* You can use the following method to extract the 'onChanged' AJAX content*/
    HtmlElement elm = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("abc"); // Get "abc" element by ID
    Console.WriteLine("elm.InnerHtml(DocumentCompleted):" + elm.InnerHtml);
    if (elm != null)
    {
        // Listen on 'abc' onpropertychange event
        elm.AttachEventHandler("onpropertychange", new EventHandler(handlerAbc));
    }

}

Result：

elm.InnerHtml(DocumentCompleted):

elm.InnerHtml(handlerAbc):06:32:36

elm.InnerHtml(handlerAbc):06:32:38

elm.InnerHtml(handlerAbc):06:32:40

I used OpenWebKitSharp to solved the problem that Html content rendered by js. If you can change the library, just go to this link to check the solution: Get final HTML content after javascript finished by Open Webkit Sharp
