Can you be more specific?

For example:

For example a web site has two input boxes. one is for user and second is for password. Log in programatically, also taking care of cookies.

After you log in, do different things on web site, like:
Make a post on forum, download something etc.

Sometime ago, I made a program that does all of that, however I was using webbrowser and that is pseudo programmatic approach.

To do it real way, I do not have knowledge yet, but that's something that I always wanted to do.

You are expert programmers, and I am sure if you find time and desire you will make this tutorial very fast :)

thank you for great work and dedication.

Last post was by me. Sorry I did not notice I was not logged in.

This could be done fairly easily for a specific website because the elements and forms would be known. Making it work generically for all websites would be very challenging, if not impossible.

I'll look into this and see how hard it would be. What language are you interested in using?

I am interested in using c#.

You are absolutely correct, but at least could you make tutorial with one example. For example log in to .php powered login page.

That would be great tutorial as a starter point. People would have to figure out on their own how to send data to another log in systems.
