HI All,
I am trying to develop a software in .NET. What i need is when i click on a button...a website should open...fill up a form by getting data from database.

steps are as follows..
Click a button>>website opens>>get data from database such as Name, Last Name etc...>>Paste on the website textboxes...>>click submit button on the website....thats it..

is it possible?
If possible..please send me the code.

Thanks & Regards,

I won't send you the code, though what you're trying to achieve is quite easy. You can circumnavigate the 'open website -> auto-fill form data -> submit form (to page x)' by instead sending a request to page x with the data in a query string or the POST data array.

My suggestion was a desktop application. Check out libcurl for .NET.

Hi Marcus,
What i'm trying to do is cross domain scripting...which seems to be impossible...the website which im trying to open is not on my domain. I need to open a website...http:www.irdaonline.org...login to it...open a form ...auto fill the form with the data from my database...and then submit...Remember the website is not on my domain and it is out of my scope...ive tried form method post which doesn't work....Have you ever tried this???
