C#: Click an email in Hotmail using the Web browser?

kytro360 · Oct 23, 2011

Hello everyone. I need a little help with a bit of code cause Hotmail is acting weird. What I am trying to do is make my bot click an email inside of Hotmail.

The code I have should work but it isnt clicking on anything so I wanted to ask here if anyone can help me out to make it work

.

Ive only included the portion to click on the email. If you can provide any help, I would be truly grateful:

Code:

 if (webBrowser1.Url.AbsoluteUri.Contains("mail/InboxLight.aspx"))
 {                           

HtmlElementCollection allelements = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("a"); 

foreach (HtmlElement element in allelements) 

{

 if (element.GetAttribute("value").Contains("Hotmail getting started tip #1: Add contacts"))                             {                                  element.InvokeMember("click");                             } 

}

WatIn is so easy for this type of thing, Use it you might be able to attach it to your webbrowser control instance to save any code refactoring.

Syntax would be somethin like this

ie.Document.Links.Filter(Find.ByText("Hotmail getting started blahblah")).First.Click();

Beautiful syntax

Of course it can help him, if he would program in delphi, but he uses C# for fucks sake...

I think the reason your code is not working is that hotmail uses Ajax.
My advice is you forget the Webbrowser, its shit anyways and use something good like Selenium or WatIn.
