Is it possible to use cURL in vb.net?

Hi,

As some of you know I'm most definitely a beginner so go easy please

I've been looking at API and cURL and I'm thinking of creating a program for delicious which adds a bookmark for me a certain times during the day. They have an API page here which I think you use a cURL command to use but I don't know what any of this means

I reckon I could figure out everything except how to actually get the program to connect to delicious and add the bookmark, there doesn't seem to be anyone else using vb.net and cURL together so maybe there is a reason. If there is please let me know.

You can use a webbrowser control and a timer to get the same thing as curl. just use the timer click event to send the url to the webbrowser. All curl does is sends out a url at predetermined times

Oh that should be no problem, I would have done that when I was reading my vb.net book. I'll have to dig that up where ever it is

Any idea how I could control the API code when I get that far, I presume typing the code in as they have supplied wont be understood in vb.net.

not sure as API can vary a lot but if the url is the same as what the api is looking for then it will work. only area you may have an issue with is the header i believe as it may need an authentication string.

When you get that far if you still have an issue i recommend posting in the ASP.NET section as you will get a better response than on this board (from my experience)

I noticed ASP.net mentioned when I was searching I'll look into it and see how I get on, thanks for the advice.

i found that posting here i would get one maybe 2 replies to these kinds of issues but on ASP.NET i would get 5 or 6, makes sense as ASP.NET is directly related to the internet and such issues and vb.net integrates perfectly into asp.net
