automatically logging into a website

[Brian Henry]

Is there a way I could enter a username and password in a windows form then
take that and cause it to open a website up in IE and "post" the information
to a site so i can cause that site to log in useing this information?

Hi Brain,

You can use the Web Browser control for the implementing the required
functionality.

Please refer to the following link for more details:

anyway to do it with an external browser though? would be a little bit
obtrusive to write a web browser host for the control so you had back
forward etc...

Below there is a sample on how to do that with a 'WebRequest' object. I
assume that this will work with a 'POST' request too:

\\\
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
..
..
..
Dim wrq As WebRequest = _
WebRequest.Create("https://example.org/shop/order.jsp")
wrq.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "password")
Dim wrp As WebResponse = wrq.GetResponse()
Dim sr As New StreamReader(wrp.GetResponseStream())
MessageBox.Show(sr.ReadToEnd())
sr.Close()
wrp.Close()
///
