Ok, so what I am trying to do is make a VB application (just got into VB yesterday woots me!) that will connect to a website, login, and then get some information...

So far I have made it as far as filling in the login info, but I cannot find out how to submit the form!

Just so everyone knows, I cannot use inet (I'm using VB express), I have tried .click and .submit and neither of those worked...any ideas?

PS: Here is the code I have:

CODE: Current code

Copy / Restore

Public Class Form1
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
If WebBrowser1.Url.OriginalString = "http://www.intelcircle.net/login.php" Then
WebBrowser1.Document.All("Username").InnerText = TextBox1.Text
WebBrowser1.Document.All("Pass1").InnerText = TextBox2.Text
WebBrowser1.Document.All("Pass2").InnerText = TextBox3.Text
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0).All("submit").click()
Label3.Text = "Status: Connected to login page"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.somedomain.com/login.php")
Label3.Text = "Status: Connecting..."
End Sub
End Class

Try looking at the HttpWebRequest object. Since it looks like you are doing a POST operation this link might help you

http://www.netomatix.com/httppostdata.aspx & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/debx8sh9.aspx.

Once you get past your login, you will need to be able to get the response data. Tho depending on the authenication mechanism used by the site this may make life difficult.

Doing using a WebBrowser control is painful!

Yeh, I finnally figured out how to do it (Thanks though) I just had to call the tag by ID and then invoke the click function...example below

CODE:	Copy / Restore :: Remove Scroll Bars
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("submit_button").InvokeMember("click")
