How to get a site with WebClient class

To open needed site I have to give my ID and a password.
I can use webclient.downl oadFile() to load an html text.
Is there a way to display this site using an webclient
object before calling downloadFile()?
Thanks,
Dave.

In theory yes -- you can send userid and password using
WebClient.Uploa dValues(). In practice I'm afraid you'll need to use
WebRequest/WebResponse, since WebClient does not handle cookies and most
web sites rely on cookies to implement session tracking.

I'm trying to screen scrape a site that requires a password. If I access the site's login page in my browser and view the source, I see that it does not contain a viewstate. When my program posts the login information, the response I get is the same page as if I had logged in using my browser. In the page it says "Welcome" followed by my name. The cookie collection returned doesn't contain any cookies (response.cookies.count = 0).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
