[RESOLVED] Navigation on the internet

The application I am trying to make will be a database program that needs to get on a website in order to work. I am looking for coding that when executed would open the internet, type in a URL, click on a button on that page, then type in a user name and password. I want this all to be done autonomously with just coding. I have a way to open the internet from a program but would like help with the rest. I'm not super experienced with vb.

How I open the internet:

Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process

p.StartInfo.FileName = "iexplore.exe"

p.Start()

Any help on the rest? Thanks so much

I just found a way to get to my URL I want.

Dim mySearchURL As String = "http://URLdesiredHere/"
Process.Start(mySearchURL)
But I still need help with clicking on a button on this page and then typing.

you'll probably want the webbrowser control instead.

here's a couple of threads to get started with.

Well I just looked at the source code for my website and found the exact URL that brings up the input box. So now all I need to know is how to type in username, tab, then password and hit enter.

So to redescribe things, I have an input box that pops up and is selected and I need a way to type into that input box autonomously with vb code. I have to guess that there's an easy way to do it. I also tried opening those files and my vb 2008 would come up and say that the files weren't converted right. Any help on anything? I basically don't know much at all as to go about doing this but I really need to figure it out. Seeking any advice as to how to go about this. Thanks

I'm also wondering if this can be done on visual studio 2008 express or if i need to download a .NET version. I'm still pretty new to vb

Well after piles of research I finally figured out how to do it. All I needed to know was to use Sendkeys.Send. Thanks for your efforts :D
