[ VB.NET ] ID to Username
I used Chris's HttpWrapper it's in Releases.

You need A:
Textbox
2 labels
1 Button

Lable 2 will be the one that shows you the Username
and Label 1 will just be on top of the textbox Saying " UserID: "

anyways here is the code:



Public Wrapper as new HTTPwrapper

public strHTML as string




        strHTML = Wrapper.Get("http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/" + TextBox1.Text)



        Dim UserNM As String

        UserNM = Wrapper.Between(strHTML, "<title>Viewing ", "&")

        Label2.Text = "Username :" + UserNM

Or, instead of loading the whole (heavy) profile page, use GSI method #606, which requires entering the user's ID.

Or you could just use method 102 which allows you to use both user id and username to get either the username or id.

I'm guessing that you assumed The next question .
What is the method 102 ?

GSI methods used by Gaia are something like:

http://w w w . gaia online .c o m/chat/gsi/index.php?&v=json&m=[["method number",["parameter 1","parameter 2",...]]]

Method numbers are integers between 1 and 10000 (I guess), and parameters are ... specific parameters used by the specific method that gives a certain information about a part of the site.

Example:

http://www.gaiaonline.com/chat/gsi/index.php?v=json&m=[[102,[50006]]] (GSI method #102) => It gives informations about a user using his used ID (the parameter, which is in our case: 50006).[/50006]
