Some facts about DotNetWikiBot Framework

Short tutorial

There are only 3 types of objects in DotNetWikiBot Framework: Site, Page and PageList. They are used as follows.

using DotNetWikiBot;	// Reference DotNetWikiBot namespace for easy access
class MyBot : Bot	// Derive your bot class from framework's Bot class
{
 public static void Main()
 {
 // Firstly make Site object, specifying site's URL and your bot account
 Site enWiki = new Site("http://en.wikipedia.org", "myBotLogin", "myPassword");
 // Then make Page object, specifying site and page title in constructor
 Page p = new Page(enWiki, "Art");
 // Load actual page text from live wiki
 p.Load();
 // Add "Visual arts" category link to "Art" page's text
 p.AddToCategory("Visual arts");
 // Save "Art" article's text back to live wiki with specified comment
 p.Save("comment: category link added", true);
 // Make empty PageList object, representing collection of pages
 PageList pl = new PageList(enWiki);
 // Fill it with 100 pages, where "nuclear disintegration" is mentioned
 pl.FillFromGoogleSearchResults("nuclear disintegration", 100);
 // Load texts and metadata of all found pages from live wiki
 pl.LoadWithMetadata();
 // Now suppose, that we must correct some typical mistake in all our pages
 foreach (Page i in pl)
 // In each page we will replace one phrase with another
 i.text = i.text.Replace("fusion products", "fission products");
 // Finally we'll save all changed pages to wiki with 5 seconds interval			
 pl.SaveSmoothly(5, "comment: mistake autocorrection", true);
 // Now clear our PageList so we could re-use it
 pl.Clear();
 // Fill it with all articles in "Astronomy" category and it's subcategories
 pl.FillFromCategoryTree("Astronomy");
 // Download and save all PageList's articles to specified local XML file
 pl.SaveXmlDumpToFile("Dumps\\ArticlesAboutAstronomy.xml");
