Hi Timothy,

use HttpRequest class to format a POST request. It is pretty trivial.

Best,

Hi Tim,

I like using WebClient for that. You need to include the name of the
parameter that the target page expects.

Here's some sample code that might get you started. Let us know if it helps?

   Sub DoPost()
       Dim uriString As String = _
       "http://localhost/p4320work/mySpecialPage.aspx"
       Dim strGoName As String
       strGoName = TextBox1.Text
       ' Create a new WebClient instance.
       Dim myWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient
       Dim myNameValueCollection As New _
         System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection
       myNameValueCollection.Add("go1", strGoName)
       myNameValueCollection.Add("Button1", "")
       Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadValues _
       (uriString, "POST", myNameValueCollection)
   '    Response.Redirect("http://msdn.microsoft.com/")
   End Sub

   Private Sub Button1_Click _
   (ByVal sender As System.Object, _
   ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Call DoPost()
   End Sub

 <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
  <P>
   <asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server">test</asp:TextBox></P>
  <P>
   <asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">Label</asp:Label></P>
  <P>
   <asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button></P>
 </form>

Hmmm... you might want this version instead if you need to see the
response...

  Sub DoPost()
       Dim uriString As String = _
       "http://p4320/p4320work/login.aspx"
       ' Create a new WebClient instance.
       Dim myWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient
       Dim myNameValueCollection As New _
         System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection
       myNameValueCollection.Add("txtName", "Ken")
       myNameValueCollection.Add("txtPwd", "password")
       myNameValueCollection.Add("Button1", "")
       Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadValues _
       (uriString, "POST", myNameValueCollection)
       Label1.Text = "Response received was :" & _
       System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray)
   End Sub
