"Converting" this web page to VB

**Skootles** · Feb 25th, 2007, 10:02 AM

Right now, my program is just a Form with a WebBrowser in it, and the WebBrowser loads a web page (hosted locally) that allows you to upload an image to a website. You find the image you're looking for, then click Submit. It gets uploaded, and then you get redirected to a new page that has the url to the image you just uploaded. Here's the code for it:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Imageshack Uploader Test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#F7F7F7">

<form method="post" action="http://imageshack.us/" enctype="multipart/form-data" onSubmit="return checkemail()" id="upform">

	<div id="upfile"><input type="file" name="fileupload" size="30" onChange="showoptions(this)" id="fileupload"> </div>

	<div id="upurl" style="display: none"><input type="text" id="fileupload" value="paste image url here" style="color: #888;"
	onfocus="focusfield(this)" name="url" size="30"> </div>


	<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="13145728">
	<input type="hidden" name="refer" value="">
	<input type="hidden" name="brand" value="">

	<div id="hostbutton" style="padding-top: 5px;">
  	<input name="Button" type="submit" id="butan" style="width:135px" value="Submit!">
	</div>

</form>

</body>
</html>

If you don't understand what I was talking about before, then just try saving that as an html file and running it :P

Now, I have two questions. A, is it possible to make this work using VB, instead of having a WebBrowser loading a web page, and if it is, then B, how would I do this? It's been quite a while since I used VB, and even when I did, I didn't know alot.

Thanks

Again, thanks, but I don't feel like learning C#.

You don't need to learn C#. Find an example that looks like it will work for you via the description. Then copy and paste the C# code into the C# to VB converter tool.

And if you know how to use the .NET version of the VB language, you basically know C# already. It uses the same libraries, the code is just in a different, but still easily readable, syntax.

Which I don't.
I only know *very very* simple VB coding. I know even less about html forms.

well you going to have to put forth an effort to learn some vb unless you want ppl to code everything for you.

**Skootles** · Mar 1st, 2007, 03:42 PM

I'm willing to learn, yes, I just need help for this project (not school related, this is for me) at this time.

Is it for VB.NET or VB6?

Am I right in saying you just want to upload an image to a website, then send the user to that link, from a VB app?

**Skootles** · Mar 1st, 2007, 10:45 PM

It's for VB6, and yes, that's what I want to do. However it's not my website, it's for a popular one called Imageshack.
