Alright, I've managed to get a string containing HTML content inside of it, but I need to get into an HTMLDocument for parsing.
I've tested the following code, and I've been unable to get it to work through any of the variations I've tried.
Dim webclient As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim result As String = webclient.DownloadString(link)
Dim htm As HtmlDocument
htm = htm.Write(result)
Dim sDD As Object
sDD = htm.GetElementById("tag-sidebar")
Dim IDD As Object
IDD = htm.GetElementById("highres")
Currently it is telling me that htm = htm.Write(result) does not produce a value, so I'm sort of stumped.
I'm Currently using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional

The error just indicates that the Write method does not produce a value. In VB-speak that means Write is a Sub, not a Function.

My program wants to delete a table IF IT EXISTS. This neat little function (courtesy Terry Kreft) used to work every time, but today, under Access 365, it fails with "Item not found in this collection."
Function TableExists(Tablename As String) As Boolean
Dim loTab As DAO.TableDef
On Error Resume Next
Set loTab = CurrentDb.TableDefs(Tablename) <<<< This is where the error occurs
TableExists = (Err = 0)
End Function
`
Now in this case the table definitely DOES NOT EXIST, so the error message is correct - but surely it should not be output following the "On Error"
I would be grateful for any help!
Sorry - I am a twit!
I had VBA Tools | Options | General "Break on all errors" set. Flipped to "Break on unhandled errors" and now everything works.

I have error ')' expects and in line 3 on "c". How to handle this? Thanks
You're using C# syntax in VB .NET.
Try
Using c as StudentContext = New StudentContext(StudentContext.ConnectionString)

i am new to VB.
I am trying to retrieve the last value in the csv below.
0066,0055,0078
From this string, I want to fetch 0078.
From this string, I want to fetch 0078.
Try this,
Dim xString as String = "0066,0055,0078"
Dim xResult() as String = xString.split(",")
Dim xExtracted as String = xResult(xResult.length-1)
MsgBox(xExtracted)
a shorter alternative would be:
Dim xString as String = "0066,0055,0078"
MsgBox(xString.Substring(xString.LastIndexOf(",") + 1))
if you are going to use the function regularly consider creating an extension method

I am trying to find which value is assigned to strA?
Dim dbleTest as Double = 0.25
Dim strA as String = dblTest.ToString("p")
If you correct your typo, and use Dim dlbTest As Double = 0.25, then this prints 25.00 % (locale specific, some locales may have different decimal separators).
Without that in place, the result will depend on the Option Explicit checking currently in place in the file, and potentially the value assigned to dblTest (if it exists in scope).

I have a large text file with over 100k of lines. Some of the lines are duplicates. I would like to be a to dedupe these entries before processing them. I am using visual basic 2010 Express to write this.
Text file example:
132165
165461
646843
654654
321358
132165
165461
I want to dedupe these entries before processing them
You can use a HashSet(Of T)
Dim nodupes As New HashSet(Of String)(File.ReadLines(path))
For Each str As String In nodupes
' no duplicate here '
Next
Edit Since a HashSet(Of T) does not guarantee to preserve the insertion order you can use following code if you need to ensure this order:
Dim nodupeSet As New HashSet(Of String)
Dim nodupes = From line In File.ReadLines(path)
Where nodupeSet.Add(line)
For Each str As String In nodupes
' no duplicate here '
Next
