Retrieves a single
HtmlElement using the element's
ID attribute as a search key.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function GetElementById ( _
id As String _
) As HtmlElement
Dim instance As HtmlDocument
Dim id As String
Dim returnValue As HtmlElement
returnValue = instance.GetElementById(id)
public HtmlElement GetElementById (
string id
)
public:
HtmlElement^ GetElementById (
String^ id
)
public HtmlElement GetElementById (
String id
)
public function GetElementById (
id : String
) : HtmlElement
Parameters
- id
The ID attribute of the element to retrieve.
Return Value
Returns the first object with the same ID attribute as the specified value.
If there are multiple elements in the document with the same ID value, GetElementById will return the first one it finds.
The following code example retrieves a named TABLE from a document, counts up the number of rows, and displays the result in the Web page. The code example requires that you have a WebBrowser control in your project named WebBrowser1, and that you have loaded a Web page with a TABLE whose ID attribute is Table1.
Private Function GetTableRowCount(ByVal TableID As String) As Integer
Dim Count As Integer = 0
If (WebBrowser1.Document IsNot Nothing) Then
Dim TableElem As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(TableID)
If Not (TableElem Is Nothing) Then
For Each RowElem As HtmlElement In TableElem.GetElementsByTagName("TR")
Count = Count + 1
Next
Else
Throw (New ArgumentException("No TABLE with an ID of " & TableID & " exists."))
End If
End If
GetTableRowCount = Count
End Function
private Int32 GetTableRowCount(string tableID)
{
Int32 count = 0;
if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
{
HtmlElement tableElem = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(tableID);
if (tableElem != null)
{
foreach (HtmlElement rowElem in tableElem.GetElementsByTagName("TR"))
{
count++;
}
}
else
{
throw(new ArgumentException("No TABLE with an ID of " + tableID + " exists."));
}
}
return(count);
