I need to register to a site programmatically. I did it with VB6 (using the IE Web Browser component), but I don't know how to edit textboxes on a website using WebBrowser. I don't need to do it with Webbrowser, it's just that I know it can be done with it. I just need to insert a username, a password etc. using my program.

Thanks

Try having a look at WATin. IT will allow you to automate a browser from C#.

It also has a recorder which can be helpful.

You could use HttpWebRequest but if an open-source component (Watin) is not an issue the task will take a lot less time to achieve.
