HTML Agility Pack Causes Code to Stop Executing After Load Call
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am creating a small application to parse HTML of a page into variables so I can generate code for another proprietary application. I am using VB with HTMLAgilityPack for parsing. When I execute the load statement, no error are shown but all other code after that line simply fails to execute, as if it isn't even there.
Private Sub Importer_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim strImportType As String
Dim strImportURL As String
strImportType = main.importType
strImportURL = main.importURL
Dim web As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb
Dim content As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument
content = web.Load(strImportURL)
vb.net visual-studio xpath html-agility-pack

Check the Immediate Window (CTRL + ALT + I). It logs all exceptions that are thrown, handled or not. Exceptions occurring in theLoadevent doesn't always break the application, so it's easy to miss.

@VisualVincent I see what you mean. I wouldn't have noticed that. Exception thrown: 'HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWebException' in HtmlAgilityPack.dll I will note that strImportURL points to a local file. I have tried it with the raw path as well as the web browser generated file:// before the local path.

You can use the Exception Settings window to force VS to break on all exceptions. That should properly display the error for you (just remember to reset the changes in the window again when you are done).

After using Visual Vincent suggestion to open the Exceptions Settings and force VB to fail it allowed for more information. This issue was simply that the file was not being found due to spaces in the filename. Adding quotes around the filename resolved the issue.
