I am automating a javascript web form submission process using webbrowser. I would like to use something without a UI but don't think httpresponse etc would do all that is needed. My code works but I think is not designed correctly. I think I should be breaking each step into its own sub or function. In its current state I think every time a page is refreshed/redrawn all the code is running which makes causes endless looping of clicking a link which is on its own destination page. What that means is click the link and the page refreshes with new information but does not navigate to a new page. So the code looks for the link and selects it over and over and over .... This I think needs to be subbed or done as a function instead.
Here's the code.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Part 1: Load elogging login page in Form_Load event
WebBrowser1.Navigate("[URL]")

I'd like to know if there are other ways to write a submission program (submitting urls or pad xml to directories, submission sites, blogs) other than using the webBrowser. I've evaluated some shareware programs that submit urls or data very quickly, like 100s in a matter of mins. I couldn't write a program using a webBrowser because it might take 15 secs just to load the url. How are they writing the code??
I need to find a way to automate the process when a user uploads a microsoft project file to a web application I already have created. The process will need to basically use the save as from project to save into a .csv file so I can use this to import the data to an SQL database (this is needed for custom reporting we already have set up using SQL). I need to automate this process because I will be receiving tons of project files, and if the process is automated the users will then be able to instantly see results.
Basically, is there any way to create or run an automated process that will save these project files as .csv files? Even if the csv files are not formatted correctly, I can find a way around that, just need to first get them into .csv files. The only way I could think of this is to follow the instructions listed below, but I would then need to automate a process to open the file and hit save so this works... [URL]
I am not sure what would cause this. I see a lot of people using JavaScript to go around the problem however I do not know how to write JavaScript code.
How can this be done (preferably without JavaScript)?
I am trying to automate the download of a .CSV file from a password protected website. This file is updated every 15 minutes, but I could get by downloading it 2-3 times a day. I would love to find a way to download this file without any user interaction.
The problem is that there is no direct URL to access the CSV file. There is a webpage with a submit button that initiates the file download. The usual File..Save As Dialog box appears, you click save and then specify the location through the second dialog box.
Looking at the source of the main webpage, I found the form containing the download button, hoping that I could simulate the POST using the HTTPRequest/Response objects, but I couldn't get them to work. The form contains three hidden variables, one of which is called "Key" with a 20 character hexadecimal string. Im assuming this key is regenerated regularly, so this may explain the constant errors I received saying "...press the back button and resubmit the previous page".
Then I decided to try the WebBrowser control. I was able to figure out how to pass the authentication through the URL and the download page appears in the browser control window. Clicking on the download button brings up the same Save As dialog as the main browser window.how to automate this process. I just need to get this csv file (which, by the way is approx 25MB) downloaded so that my scripts can use it to update our site database.
I have a little project but ive come to an error. What it does: It goes to a site, fills a form and then submits it. But the submit is too fast. I want it to fill in info, then wait 3 seconds and then submit it.
Here is the WebBrowser1.Document.All("user[screen_name]").SetAttribute("value", TextBox4.Text & intcount) For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.All If element.GetAttribute("className") = "submit button promotional" Then element.InvokeMember("click") End If Next I want it to have a little pause of 3 seconds after the intcount).
I have created a page containing the Wizard control. It's a very simple one. User selects some data on the first page, clicks Next and then has a choice of Previous or Finish. When they click Finish the form is submitted but, for some reason, the font size of all my labels increases. There's nothing in the code of the Finish button that would do that.
I have an ASP.NET web form that reads a file and writes some data to a database. I need to run this process on a scheduled basis.
Currently, I have a scheduled task that calls a batch file. The batch file then opens Internet Explorer and navigates to the URL and the process is fired. There is another scheduled batch file that closes Internet Explorer.
is there a way that I can send what my client has submitted via a TextBox to one of my php servers? I googled it, and couldn't really find the answer I was looking for. Or if I did, it was a little too complicated for me. A link to a simple tutorial will do, if you don't feel like wasting your time taki
I want my vb.net dll to get the data sent from c++ project(exe).Can any body help on in what form this void pointer can be sent via pipe. The void pointer corresponds to enums or structures. I have to get this structures/enums on the vb.net dll end. I have mentioned about using pipe. My question is as what type the pointed to data can be send over the pipe so that I can easily handle the received data at the vb.net dll end.
I've written a JavaScript function which validates form input and highlights the input fields and displays any error messages, which I have tested and all works fine. i have called this function from the OnClientClick attribute of an asp:Button tag. However, if the JavaScript function determines there to be validation errors, I want to stop the form from submitting. How do I do this?
I have been attempting to automate a process in a webbrowser control. When I attempt to fill out the form and submit, I get a false negative response (meaning all the data in the fields are correct but I am getting an incorrect response back from what I should be getting). I have determined that this problem is due to the fact that when I manually type out the data in the input fields a javascript is being fired. I know that you are able to invoke the javascript, but as I have no real knowledge about javascript and the script is rather complex I am stuck.
A temporary solution for me has been to use SendKeys, but this is no real solution at all. If the window loses focus, the entire process goes out the window. I cannot just use the .SetAttribute or .InnerText methods for the elements in the window.
I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with WatiN but I have used it recently while looking for other means to do what I need to do here. Watin works, but instead of allowing me to use an embedded browser object it shells new browser windows. Anyhow, with WatiN I am able to minimize or hide the browser window and the code will still execute. This leads me to believe that there is a way to simulate keypress events in a browser window while making sure that the specific element is the active element.
I have searched all over the internet for this (but am sure I overlooked a few things in frustration) and have yet to find a solution that works for me.
how can i make my webbrowser open up a new link in my same webbrowser or in another form? basically what im saying is i dont want it opening links in internet explorer.
I am trying to use my web browser control to get retrieve date from a specific page, including all sub-page content. Problem is some of the sub-pages are on a separate domain and thus I am getting a permission deigned error when i try to access the frame [through document.windows.frames(i).document].Is there any work around to do this, even if I have to manually change security settings? I tried turning all my settings in IE to allow and still same error. I will only be running the app locally and no one will be browsing on IE so I can literally change anything needed to get this to work (even install older version of IE which may allow it but can still handle JS processing).
Note the reason I am using web browser is a great majority of data I will be accessing is JS generated, so I need to access the DOM after JS processed / generated the HTML. Because of this, simply using SOCKETS to get the HTML is really not an option. Even if I had the HTML, I still need some type of engine to process all of the DOM elements based off javascript.
I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
My problem is actually how I can transfer certain words or sentences from one cell to another.

We have bid on a large installation and if we get it we will need to set up 300-400 router like devices very quickly. To set one up now we connect to the device with a serial cable, run Putty on the windows PC, log in to the device, and run some commands on it to load the latest firmware and change some settings. I'd like to reduce this to connect the router to the pc with the serial cable and press a button on a vb program. The program would launch Putty, login and execute the commands. Sendkeys might work but it would be best if the VB program could read the responses that were coming back to an extent so I wouldn't have to program in really long pauses to insure actions had completed before doing something else.
i am using the following code to send e-mails, I am using this cause various other methods though sucessful, were not compatible.

I have developed a VB.Net application to automate Word and I am noticing some issues when I attempt to close a document and subsequently Word. So I have decided to do the following - - ->
I check to see if Word is running on the local PC. If it is not, then I instaniate Word, execute code, close the document and quit Word. If Word is already running I want to be able to use that instance of Word, execute code, close out the active document and NOT close Word. I have retrieved the Process ID for Word running on the local PC but am not sure how I can use Word's properties and methods on an existing instance.
Since installing Windows 7 on one of my test machines my automated uninstaller can not find the uninstall string. My script works on XP just fine. I noticed that the uninstall information is in a different location for Windows 7. it is in Wow6432NodeMicrosoft... is there a constant I can use that will allow my script find the correct uninstall location on both Windows 7 and Windows XP?

I have written an application using VB 2005 Express. It's a very simple application. There are basically two listboxes, one to the left and the other one to the right of the GUI.Listbox1 contains a list of names. When you double-click each name, a code word is created and added to the listbox on the right. Now... here is what I want to do. I would like to automate the double-clicking process with the click of a button so that each name on listbox1 is double-clicked in sequence
