Mini IP Tool problem with Geo IP - BigMre - Nov 20, 2015

Whats Up,

i have a Problem with my code.

i have a textbox to enter an ip then one for the output and a Button to Start.

the Code looks like this:

Code 
Private Sub geoip_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles geoip.KeyDown

        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then

            e.SuppressKeyPress = True

            geoausgabe.Text = ""

            WebRequest.Create("www().api.()com/()()geoip.Text)

            geoausgabe.Text = New System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString("www().api.()com/()()geoip=" + geoip.Text)

the output of the api is in a HTML Format, so the output text has <br> in it.

is there a way to transform the <br> into next line (\n) that the output is orderd :D

Thanks..

ps: i will publish my Programm. It has a Skype Resolver and other cool tools in it :D

You're gonna have to pick one.

As for your question, easy way is to call Replace and replace "<br />" or whatever with string.Empty.

holy shit, string manipulation is something that you learn 101 style, not a fucking skype, ip, web anything.

this is VERY VERY VERY basic.

Hoping that other less novice programmers stumble upon this thread in the future, I'll post something I made a while back for another user on here.

Example using the API provided by https://freegeoip.net

Or copy the response, go to VS and Edit -> Paste Special -> Paste XML As Classes, then deserialize if you want everything:

Code 
var ip = Console.ReadLine();

Response response = null;

var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Response));

using (var wc = new WebClient())

using (var sr = new StringReader(wc.DownloadString($"https://freegeoip.net/xml/{ip}")))

    response = (Response)serializer.Deserialize(sr);

Console.WriteLine(response.CountryName);

Console.ReadLine();

If you're printing everything, override ToString and build it there.
