I was wondering if it would be possible to use Web Services to move through a
website? Example: I want to download new ATi drivers as part of an unattended
install, my program will need to move through ATi's various selection menus
and download the correct file or files.

Hi Lazy,

Whether it is a Web service or a console application you still have to write the code to crawl the site by yourself. Web services won't help you much in this endeavor.

How do you determine correct? And define "move"
