I've found something that is a problem in .Net that wasn't in VB6, for once.

I'm trying to get some user info (pertaining to the username that a person inserts into a textbox) from a page source of a web-community website. For example, if the user types in "John Doe" and clicks the button, it downloads their, let's say TheDilly.com "User Home Page" source for parsing. Only problem is, when I download the source (i.e. "http://www.thedilly.com/usernamehere"), it downloads the source as if said person were logged out (i.e. the "guest" page), even if they manually go log into the site before downloading the source.

So in other words, regardless of if the user is logged into the site or not, it will download the guest display page source. It won't recognize that they're actually logged in.

Rather than have to insert a webbrowser control and do it that way, I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. If that's the only way, then fine. But if not, I'd really like some insight as to how to do it using something like (what I'm using now) My.Computer.Netword.DownloadFile()

Any ideas?
