Inet Control Alternative in vb.net...Ist it Possible?

[Rick]

Hi,

I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere yet. I have a Vb6
application that has to be rewritten as a vb.net app and
in the old application the inet control was set as:

inet.Protocol = icHTTP
inet.OpenUrl(http://user:pa******@www.somesite.com/Login) format was used.

I have to take this exact same concept and accomplish it in vb.net. Has
anyone been able to do this?

I've tried doing it through a WebRequest like below:

Dim objRequest as WebRequest = objRequest.Create(www.somesite.com/Login)
objRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("user", "password")

Dim objResponse as WebResponse = objResponse.GetResponse

I get an error when I get to the GetResponse Line and I was wondering if
anyone ran into the same issues
or knows of a way around this. I would appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks,
Rick
