Till now , i am opening a webpage by using VB code.

 

I want to copy the contents in that web page and store it in a .xml file.

Any chance you could actually post the code you have so far?

How are you opening the web page? Are you using something like the web browser control? Or is your code just connecting to the server and getting the HTML file?

 

And what do you mean, copy the contents of the web page fully? Are you referring to the HTML, or all images, scripts, styles, ect. that the HTML refers to? Because the latter would be pretty difficult, I imagine. Unless such a feature is built into the web browser control, I would think you'd have to examine the HTML or DOM very thoroughly to identify everything it references.
