C#.NET Gurus, please come forward, freepmail me. (NonGeeks -- Disregard)
No Source ^ | Now | By Laz

Posted on 11/01/2003 4:37:59 PM PST by Lazamataz

I have a vexing problem in C#.NET, in particular to be able to manipulate someone ELSES website in C#. Oh, sure, ASP.NET gives you a half a million great models for wonderful controls. What I need is the ability to manipulate OPTION control on another web site and to click a SUBMIT button, all programmatically. I'm stumped. I've got a great web spider, but I need to get past this FORM to complete the project.

Hacking involves getting beneath another web sites interface. Getting into their database or roots for nefarious reasons.

My app has nothing like that in mind. I intend to legitimately manipulate public and open controls in a non-secure web site and click a submit button, but because there are more that 3500 results I need, I want to do it programmatically.

I'm not interested in doing 3500 surfs for this info.

Sorry.
I thought Dad knew this program and I was just playing with you. Apparently, he doesn't know C sharp. Ooops. I'm so sorry.

Nice! You might have nailed it for me, pal. I was kinda blinded. The minute I saw ASP.NET, I immediately assumed, "Oh yeah, typical serverside stuff, no use". I wasn't openminded enough to consider that ASP.NET might be useful clientside. The HTTPWebRequest is very similar to the WebRequest and WebResponse I am presently using. All I need to do is cast (HTTPWebRequest)WebRequest wb = new WebRequest(); and use some of their ideas and I'm off to the races.

NICELY DONE bro....
