Automate Post

[Chris]

I have a web page that I want to automate a post to. I would use the web
request. However the post involves a file upload. What would be the best way
of doing this? Regards, Chris.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that. The reason for this is because as
a security measure, there is no way to programmatically select the file that
the FileUpload control (which generates an input type="file" tag). Sorry,
but security does have it's occasional drawbacks.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. There is a form I manually have to upload
a file to. I have the file and want to automate the process by posting a
stream to the form and have it upload and process the file.Regards, Chris.

Though not in this case, obviously...

You can use one of the overloaded methods of the simplified WebClient Class.
I believe it is "UploadData".
