VB.NET connect to local website and trigger an event (button)

Question

I really have no piece of code I can show you, because I have no idea how to even begin coding this.

I have to do the following with VB.NET:

1. Connect to a local website ( https://10.0.0.55/ )

2. Trigger an event on that specific page (button onClick)

    <div onClick="mySubmit('webEvent=START&webSector=0')">START</div> 

The only thing I know at the moment is that you can connect to the website through the WebClient.

    Dim webClient As New WebClient()
    webClient.BaseAddress = "http://10.0.0.55/"

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jens

Answer 1

You can use a WebBrowser control:

Navigate to the address:

webBrowser1.Navigate("https://10.0.0.55/")

The in the DocumentCompleted event you can invoke a click. Something like this:

webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("id").InvokeMember("click")
