VS 2008 HttpWebRequest/WebClient To Fill Forms?
Oct 28, 2010
I'm looking for a way to fill in various website details using a HttpWebRequest/WebClient. I can manage it quite easily using an invisible WebBrowser control, by manipulating the HtmlDocument, but for some reason I just can't quite grasp the way I would do it with a HttpWebRequest/WebClient. I've heard both of these can potentially submit info using the UploadData functionality etc, but I'm missing specificsI've done a lot of searching on google just for a basic example to get me started, but the only one that LOOKED informative was written entirely in German.Take, for example, this website. Let's just say I wanted to automate filling in my username and password into their respective boxes and then pressing the "submit" button. How would I start going about this, and how do I get the resulting page? (I'm assuming cookies that the page creates will keep your next webrequest going)

I'm using the following code to set the proxy on an HTTPWebRequest:
Dim proxy As New WebProxy("HOST:PORT")
...Then...
' Goto the final URL
request = CType(WebRequest.Create("[URL]"), HttpWebRequest)
request.Proxy = curProxy
[Code] .....
Now I put in a valid Proxy, don't run into any problems applying it, but IPChicken will always return my IP address, not that of the proxy.

I am working on a Geocoding app where I put the address in the URL and retreive the XML. I need the complete XML response for this project. Is there any other class for downloading the XML from a website that may be faster than using WebClient or HttpWebRequest? Can the XMLReader be used to get the full XML without string manipulation and would that be faster and/or more efficient?

I noticed that HttpWebRequest freezes the UI while it's waiting for a web page to be downloaded:

If someone's done this before, what is a good way to keep the application responsive?

When I make an application using an HTTPWebRequest to connect to the internet, the GUI freezes whenever it's doing something. When I run the WebRequest on another thread, it still freezes a bit. Is there a way to completely stop the freezing?

My next project is this:
I have a customer service center where each person must fill out the same data on 3 different web forms for each phone call. All 3 browser windows are open at the same time. (we are forced to use IE at this time)
The fields on each form are the same, but may be in a different order or called something different, but the data is ultimately the same.
Submitting to these web pages through POST is NOT an option. It must be done in macro-like style.
The hard part about this for is getting VB to focus each window one-at-a-time and then filling in the form values.
How can this be done? After focusing windows, is there a way to get VB to fill in each form field?

I'm in the process of adding EMR (Electronic Medical records) to my app. We have many PDF files that where created in Adobe LiveCycle and Acrobat Pro. Not sure if this is possible, but what I'd like to do is open a PDF file within my app and display it for the user to fillin the PDF form. Once PDF is filled in, I'd like to be notified (user clicks submit) when user is done, then get data out of PDF and save it to database. Or be able to fill in a PDF automatically and then display it to the user for editing. I know there are many tools out there to create/edit pdf files. The Acrobat SDK also includes a PDF viewer control, but the problem with this control is there is no way (I've found) to also edit the file through my program because the control don't expose the AcroForm class through the control. BTW, it this can be done PLEASE let me know how. Also note that most of these are dynamic PDF files (created in LiveCycle) and some of the third party tools don't provide support for these files.
I don't care if Acrobat reader is required to be installed on the user computer, I just need to be able to get some type of notification that the user is done filling in the forms. It might have been easier to just create a winform and with all required fields, but a lot of our users are not computer savy, and have been using the paper version of the PDF files for a while. I need to make it as easy as possible for them to jump in and start using the program, hince embedding the PDF into my app.

I'm trying to fill in web forms automatically by using the vb.net webbrowser. I'm using code like the following to fill in the name:
Dim elementsInput As HtmlElementCollection = wb1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("INPUT")
For Each element As HtmlElement In elementsInput
[Code]...
The problem is this solution is not global. It will only work on text boxes with the name "OWNER_NAME". Writing out hundreds of variations for every text input there might be for name would not be very smart. There must be an easier solution?
how I can write a program that will work on ANY web page, no matter what the names of the text inputs are?

I have a listview control that contains 2 items, ProdCode and ProdName. When the user clicks on the Prodcode, I would like the Prodcode to be entered into a field on the form. at the same time, the ProdName should populate the ProdName field on the form. Below is the code to get the data for the ListView.
Dim objListViewItem As ListViewItem
'Initialise a new instance of the data access base class
Using objData As New DABase

I would like the main form I am designing in VB.net to appear as quickly as possible. As a result I don't want to fill a datatable in the load event but instead fill it as soon as the form appears, in the background.Then when a user clicks the button a listbox can quickly be populated.
With this in mind I called a function to fill the datable from the _Shown event. The trouble is that the form freezes until the query executes, making the process pointless for my needs.
Does anyone know how to keep the form active while the datatable fills silently in the background?

Well, my problems is follow. I use a textbox where the user can enter a text but which I would like to prefill out with a variable (later , with more experience, want to ask the AD for the username and put it in the box).
That means, when the user runs the app, automatically is the username written in the textbox without pushing a button but the user has the opportunity to change it (For example doesnt want the second surname).

I have a database set up in Access. Currently I have 12 exact copies so individuals can enter data. We use the data to fill in multiple forms.I know that VB can be used to allow everyone to access one database. Does anyone have this as a runtime module since I have never written in VB and don't know where to start. My last code writing was on a AS400.

I am using visual basic 2008
I want to fill out forms, and I dont want to submit a POST url.
Instead, I need to access directly the DOM object, and somehow click or interact it programmatically.
should I use WebBrowser class ?
Can you show a sample code where text is entered into an input box, and the submit button is clicked ? ex) google.com

I have this picture to be more clear: 95028490.png My idea is when I paste (ctrl+v) for example this number : 4111111111111111 it would automatically paste them in textboxes one by one in order!

If a "web page" is more of a "Web App", meaning it is more of an "application" in a web browser, is it still possible to fill forms and stuff? I have come across a pretty huge hurdle in my fight for automation and it involves filling in a "service ticket" submission thing that is browser-based. I can view the source code of the page, but it doesn't look like normal HTML and the first screen of it has a username and password box, but there is no mention of either in the page's source code.

I am facing a strange problem with listbox. I need to scrab whois information. I used the following code to get source code of the whois query. It works fine if I use a textbox. But I need to use this for multiple url and therefore need to use lixtbox to loop through url list. Unfortunately when I use listbox1.selecteditem or listbox1.text it does not work. But this same code works with webbrowser.
