Form Posting Problem

I have an application that is doing some web scraping and needs to submit
certain information to a web form. Is there a method in VB.net or the .Net
framework to POST form data with key/value parameters because the only
method i can find require me to build my own variable string to pass to the
server. If there is not a method to POST by key/value then is there a
library I can call to properly format my string to meet the standards of
application/x-www-form-urlencoded? Any help or pointing in the right
direction would be greatly apperciated.

Thanks,
Curtis

You can try SWExplorerAutomation
(http://home.comcast.net/~furmana/SWIEAutomation.htm. It is very easy
to write any Web scraping application with the tool.
