How do I automate a web page (e.g. retrieve page text, login website, search, click button or hyperlink) via WebBrowser?

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback, please tell us.
I have seen several threads about automating several aspects of html elements (buttons, textboxes, checkboxes, radio buttons etc...) but I didn't see any specific codes to auto-click "Hyperlinks". How would I invoke a click on any hyperlink located on any given webpage if I needed to?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to automate login and navigation to a website using the WebBrowser control. I can successfully logon to the site using the wb control but after that I can't seem to get access to the newly loaded document's elements within the same routine. I check for ReadyState Complete and IsBusy but they don't seem to be working. There don't appear to be any frames being used at all so I can't figure out why this won't work. I know that the wb control is successfully logging in because I can see the page load in the wb control. However, after the page loads I try to access the HTMLDocument for the new page (after logging in) and it is either set to Nothing or it's the previous page's HTML. I've tried putting in a Sleep to wait for the page to finish before trying to access the HTMLDocument on the new page but it still doesn't work. If I create a button on my form that accesses the HTMLDocument and click it it works fine. I can't figure out how to ensure that the entire page has finished loading within my routine. I tried putting a switch into the DocumentCompleted event but that doesn't work either.

The issuse that I running into is that I cannot get my webbrowser1 to auto-click the "Gmail" button at the top left of the page or the "Show me my account" button on the righthand side of the webpage. Here is the webpage that I'm trying to auto click: url...Can someone please view the html source and give a code sample to click either button so that the page can then go on to the following page?

View 14 RepliesI am developing a program that will get specific hyperlinks, using regular expressions, from a website. It follows by visiting those chosen links and it loops through each one. Each time it has to navigate to that url to click another link in order to obtain information about that link.
The "chosen" links have been collected in a database. The fields of the database are "hyperlink" etc. and below is a prototype of what I planned on doing. Unfortunately I get this runtime error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." on the line indicated in the code.
For Each Record As DatabaseDataSet.Table1Rows In DataBaseDataSet.Table1
Dim website As New WebBrowser
'Navigate to the "chosen" link found in the field "hyperlink" of record

View 4 RepliesI am using a WebBrowser-Control to fill in a webform and then click at a button, this currently results in a standard Download File Dialog (you get these if you download a file using internet explorer), but instead, I have to catch this file and save it automatically with a by me defined name to a specific folder.I am trying to code a little application in vb.net which download the Export-file from my wordpress-blog, and I want to do this completely without user-interaction.Currently everything works, except the downloading of the file.I tried to catch it with the event System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.Navigating(ByVal Object, ByVal System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs) but I don't see where to download the file from?

Working with dynamic button. So if i have 5 buttons created dynamicly, i can get alot of information from the button click of that button. You click a button on this app, it will show the name of the button.
But now I want, lets say button 4 to click at 4:45 pm today. Normally I would do something like compare a string to "4:45", and when true, then button 4.Perform_Click.
But button 4 is dynamic, so how do I call that button in my code. How can I address it. I know it will be there when the program is running, I just don't know how to get to it in code.
Now I do have the button names in a database, so I can get the name that I want from there. Just not sure how to tell it, "Do a perform click on button 4" The code below is my test bed, so If you click the main button, it will create a button, and a timer. Click the button that was created, and it will show the button name.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...
View 3 RepliesI am new to ASP.net 4.0 and am learning and writing a web site application in VS 2010 that will eventually become our company's intranet web site. As part of the start page, I want to display the user's name in a welcome message like: "Welcome: E Young". The user's login name should come from their Windows login when the log into their computer. Once logged into their computer, they will then start IE8 and access our company's intranet. The start page of our intranet site should display the user's windows login name.
The company's intranet is being hosted on a new, virtual file server that is running Windows 2008 R2.I installed IIS 7.5 and have attempted to configure it but I am new to IIS 7.5 also. The users will access the company's intranet via IE 8 using the url for our intranet site. I am developing the ASP.net web site using VS 2010 on my development computer then transferring the files from my computer to the new intranet computer's C:Inetpubwwwroot folder.
That all seems to be working fine except for the Welcome message. When I run the web site project from my VS 2010 IDE on my development computer, I can see my Windows login name correctly displayed on the web page. However, after I copy the two web site files from my development computer to our intranet server's wwwroot folder, then attempt to show the intranet web page from my development computer using IE 8, nothing is displayed. Put another way, my Windows user name displays correctly in VS 2010 IDE on my development computer but not from our intranet. The web.config file has authentication mode="Windows"
IE 8 does have windows authentication enabled on my development computer as does IIS 7.5 on our intranet server yet the web site is not able to pickup the user's windows login name and display it for some reason.
When I look at the Authentication window in IIS 7.5 it only shows the following three authentications: Forms, Anonymous, and ASP.Net Impersonation. I ran a command line program that turned on Windows Authentication, but it does not show Windows Authentication as enabled in the Authentication screen in IIS 7.5. The three authentications I just mentioned are disabled.

recently I've been going through some website login automation and ended up with creating a simple my own browser quite happily, to open websites and login straight away.
But I found out that I can't automate some of the websites I was going for, because the html code of the login forms is not shared and cannot be seen in the source.So I'll give you guys a couple of websites I can't deal with and please advice if it is possible to do stuff with them:[URL]...
I have searched google and couldnt find any answer. Is it even possible to login to a website using background worker without having to use webbrowser?
