How to use Webrowser.Navigate()?

How to use Webrowser.Navigate()?

• Bob Heitzman

  it works in C# but when i tried the same code in VB it does not work for some reason :-(

  Dim urlString As String = "abc.aspx"

  Dim targetFrameName As String = Nothing

  Dim ENCODER As System.Text.UTF8Encoding = New System.Text.UTF8Encoding

  Dim PD As Byte() = ENCODER.GetBytes("A=3")

  Dim additionalHeaders As String = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" + Chr(10) + Chr(13)

  WebBrowser1.Navigate(urlString, targetFrameName, PD, additionalHeaders)

  Hi,

  This is what I have tried and it seems to be working:

  string Text1 = "TextBox1=This is ";
  string Text2 = "TextBox2=real value";
  UTF8Encoding encoder = new UTF8Encoding();
  webBrowser1.Navigate(@"http://localhost/testPost/Default.aspx", null, encoder.GetBytes(Text1 + "&" + Text2), "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");

  Actually, I am using the webclient class in my winform app like this:

  WebClient wc = new WebClient();
  NameValueCollection myNameValueCollection = new NameValueCollection();
  myNameValueCollection.Add("CompanyName", this.txtCompany.Text.Trim());
  myNameValueCollection.Add("Address", this.txtAddress.Text.Trim());
  myNameValueCollection.Add("RealUserName", this.txtName.Text.Trim());
  myNameValueCollection.Add("Email", this.txtEmail.Text.Trim());
  
  WebHeaderCollection whc = new WebHeaderCollection();
  whc.Add(myNameValueCollection);
  
  this.webBrowser1.Navigate(@"http://localhost/myweb01/GetPostData.aspx", "Hello", whc.ToByteArray(), "");

  In the Page_Load() of GetPostData.aspx, I get the post data like this:

  NameValueCollection nvs=Request.Form;
  this.txtAddress.Text = nvs["Address"];
  this.txtName.Text = nvs["RealUserName"];
  this.txtEmail.Text = nvs["Email"];
  
  However, I always get nvs of length 0, why

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  I think that you may create a HTML page in some temporary location, that contains a script that is invoked on page load and does post.

  Then you just navigate in you control to that local temporary page, it performs post during load, and here you are with the result in you control.

  I did not try it, but I think that it will work.
