Thanks. Another tiny related question. How would I press a button within a webpage as well?

You can do something like this:

String newValue = "Sample Text";
HtmlElement txt = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ElementIdOnHtmlPage");
txt.SetAttribute("value",newValue);

You can do the browser automation in C# for WebBrowser control.

Here's the reference article explaining how you can do that.

Note that this article is not discussing the built in Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control

Still however it is possible to use this approach with the standard WebBrowser control by casting the webBrowser .Docuemt.DomDocument property to mshtml.HtmlDocumentClass
