We have a legacy application running tomcat that publishes data in a simple html table. I have no control on the remote server publishing the data. I am looking to extract the data into a WPF desktop application and display it as a table.
Is there any way a WPF application can make a url call, get the result and parse the data. This would be similar to AJAX from JSP.
Any thoughts/ideas? Please advice.
Regards,
This isn't really a WPF question (as that's just the mechanism to display the information once you've retrieved and parsed it).
You could use something like HttpWebRequest to open the URL and retrieve the data, then write some code to parse the HTML and then you can use WPF to finally display it any way you like.
