Hi all,

we have a customer who has a person that fills up data in a webform the
whole day long...
Unfortunatly the provider of this webpage has no possibility to give us
direct-access (or webservices) to the data.
Is there any possibility to fill up webforms with .Net? I know there's a
possibility with perl, but I dislike it a bit (sorry all perl-fans ;)

Thank you in advance!

perl definately has its place in programming. I have found it very
powerful to perform OS tasks on Linux/Unix systems.

To accomplish this, you could create a .net app that acts as a web
browser, (look in System.Net.WebClient)

you could then make post/get requests to said webpage, you can even
read the response etc... this way, you bypass the form all together and
just submit the data directly to their server.

Although, if they add additional required boxes you would have to
modify your code.

All the same, WebClient is what your're looking for.
