Access an ASP.NET subpge from VB.NET app

[Bill nguyen]

Is there a way to access a module/subpage (.ASPX) from a VB.NET app by
providing the user authentication at runtime?
For example, I would like to open terminalList.aspx from my VB app using an
IE window but it always kicks me to the login screen.

Thanks
Bill

Depends on wich authentication method you use

I use Forms authentication and i do with a VB.Net program exactly what
you want

with my VB program it is possible to logon directly to this website

http://www.tireponline.de

as you see when you enter this website formsauthenticatuion will make a
redirect like this

http://www.tireponline.de/login.aspx...2fDefault.aspx

so i just send my username and password in the querystring from my vb app

http://www.tireponline.de/login.aspx...yptedpassword&

in my login.aspx page i query for these values and if found decrypt them an
log the user on and redirect them to the correct page

Hope to have given you some ideas :-)

Dear Michel;
I tried your syntax directly in IE address box and it didn't work.
Do you happen to have any snippet that can be served as an example?
Thanks
