Extracting text from webpage (dynamic text from JS, not in html source)

pete

I was wondering if anyone can show me how to extract text from a website.

I have seen lots of ways to get the html source, then go through the tags, but the problem is that the text displayed on the webpage is taken from a javascript function.

Is there anything which can render the page, then allow me to extract the textual content?

cheers

try this code

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
string url = "http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/";
byte[] request = webClient.DownloadData(url);
UTF8Encoding utf = new UTF8Encoding();
TextBox.Text = utf.GetString(request);
