Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way of accessing a web page from an application and getting the page back as an object so that form values can be read and set and even submitted. I realise that this is a generalized question but can anyone point me in the right direction?

TIA
Wux.

What I think you are talking about is what active server pages do.

I'd get a book on ASP.NET / ADO.NET / VISUAL STUDIO.NET & C#. There are many out there. If you are using visual studio.net I'd start with that

Thanks for the reply but that's now what I meant. I am talking about having a client machine that can parse the html code and then allow access to the tags in some kind of object or array.

Wux.

Wuxapian -

HTML is a subset of XML. If it's well-formed HTML, you might be able to load it into a DOM. But my experience has been that unless you're the one creating the HTML, it's usually not well-formed.
