Is it possible to spoof the referrer of a webbrowser object that is posting data to a server? I would change to WebRequests, but this needs to be done via a browser.

web server was sending a HTTP/1.1 302 Found instead of HTTP/1.1 200 OK
I've been trying to get this to work for days now, but I fail I have a very small HTTP Web Server using TCP sockets listening on port 80. I can connect and display html to the browser, parse GET parameters; but what I can't get is getting POST data. When I get a POST request, the headers and everything else come in fine, but the POST data is missing:

Simulating the web Client/web server interaction in a winform using a webbrowser object in vb2005.net
In short I'm using the web browser object as a gui for a giant treeview folder list, in the html there is a form that needs to submit to perform the action, del, rename, etc.
How do I make my program catch the submit, process it and spit out the new info out to the webbrowser item in vb2005 winform?
I am currently working on a form that performs several calculations and then submits it to a sql server. I was able to post test data to SQL when using command.CommandText = "<SQL insert statement, inserted values 'test, 5'>" followed by command.ExecuteNonQuery(). But now when i try to submit data using variables i get an "A first chance exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll"I am not a programmer, so sorry if my code looks a bit rudimentary...
View 4 RepliesIs there another way to easily make a POST request in .NET other than the WebRequest class? I have a very, VERY small piece of data I need to post: password=theword but WebRequest randomly, and I mean randomly, drops the data when posting to my server. I've tested it by using a chunk of code from my server that dumps the request to a console, and I can that the client is sometimes sending and sometimes not sending the POST data.The code that I'm using that uses WebRequest works in another project, when talking to IIS. The server being talked to (a minimal web server in another system) responds properly every time I POST data to it through Firefox. I've got a function in the same project that fires off a GET request, and that works. It just seems like my POST function isn't completing the transaction...something I've noticed in the past when asking WebRequest to handle small strings.[code]
View 2 RepliesIn my code, I want to check if a referrer url exists and if the referrer url contains a specific sub string. I know how to check for the sub string:
If( InStr( Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(), "some sub string here" ) > 0 ) Then
But I don't know how to check if a referrer exists or not. No refer exists if the url is entered in manually in the address bar. So I tried this, but this does not work:
If (Not (Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() = "")) And (InStr(Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(), "some sub string here") > 0) Then
how do check if a referrer exists?

View 1 RepliesBackground: My VB .Net application is a back-end solution that works with a proprietary Linux-based middle-ware messaging architecture developed by our company. My application references to the middle-ware DLLs, obtains connectivity, and subscribes to specific broadcasts with the middle-ware. When the broadcasts are received, it handles processes them and inserts/updates certain tables in a database. To do so, it has specific notification classes to handle each type of broadcast. These classes adhere to the inheritance model imposed by the middle-ware DLLs.

I am kinda new to VB, but have used C# to pull data from a SQL Server db using DataTables and Reader, etc, however I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this in VB.I have a variable, which the user specifies, that I wish to use as a parameter in a SQL string, much like the following: "SELECT x FROM y WHERE x = '@param'" The result will then be stored in a string variable and I wiill do what I have to do with it.

I understand in previous versions of VB the webbrowser object had a beforenavigate2 event that provided access to the postdata of the webbrowser. I've searched and searched and I think that event was disabled for visual studio 2010.
View 2 RepliesI have a program which opens up a webpage through a WebBrowser object in c#, and does a bunch of operations with it. Now I need to integrate this functionality into my own webpage.
That means that either I need to take the c# code, and somehow make it work in my webpage itself (put in a WebBrowser object, set up event handlers, etc), or I need to somehow have my webpage open this program on my server, fire an event to start, and receive input from it. It is very important for me to use a WebBrowser object (or even WebKit.Net) because there is a lot of javascript, etc on the page that needs to be processed.
I'm trying to set the format of a column in a datagridview.When I put the format statement in the on load event for the form, it has no effect. When I put it in the cellformatting event I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. I checked the column name. What I am doing wrong?
This is the code:Private Sub MeetingTblDataGridView_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles MeetingTblDataGridView.CellFormatting
Me.MeetingTblDataGridView.Columns("Starttime").DefaultCellStyle.Format = "HH:mm:ss"
End Sub What I'm trying to do is get rid of the date part of a Date/Time field (stored in an Access database) in a datagridview column.

View 3 RepliesIs there a collection or property somewhere to determine the certificate properties that is in used with the current browser?
If I right-click on the browser object on the VB form, I can see the properties and see the certificates, etc. But is there a way to programatically get to that point? Not seeing anything clearly marked. Not sure if it isn't exposed or if I'm just not seeing it.
So I am currently using the method of combining a timer with a WebBrowser control to constantly check if some particular text has appeared in the WebBrowser control on my form. The text is dynamically generated after some arbitrary amount of time depending on the user's internet connection speed. (I'm using DOM to do this). The code to check for the HtmlElements lies within a function, which is turned called by the timer.
I find that this is kind of crappy and occasionally lags the UI interface, if not making the entire program behave sluggishly. I have been thinking of just using a simple while loop in a worker thread to take care of the issue, but I understand that new threads cannot interact with the UI thread directly (including controls); they have to call wrappers that are present within the UI thread.
So my question is, can you declare a WebBrowser control and still interact with its HTMLDocument properties if you declare it within a worker thread? I don't want the while loop to be executed within the UI thread (by using a wrapper), since that would defeat the purpose. I would also like to avoid DoEvents() as much as possible...unless that's the only way to do this thing?
I understand how to post a value back to a standard asp.net page and how to then use that value at the serverside:

Name 'Request' is not declared.
I'm trying to create a windows service that loads a website, navigates it, and pulls some information using javascript.
