    The BackgroundWorker is irrelevant. All the BackgroundWorker does is allow you to execute code is a secondary thread without having to mess with delegates directly.

    If you want to perform web-related operations then you use a WebClient for simple tasks and an appropriate WebRequest, e.g. HttpWebRequest, when you need more control.

    So I can use HttpWebRequest to login to a webpage with out a webbrowser?

    or is the "tricks" in how to do it. Can find a possible solution.

    Thank you

    No, it's not possible. I only posted that for a joke. Then again...
