Form post method complete coding

Question

Following is the HTML form code, for uploading text value and a JPEG file.

<html>
<head></head>

<body>
<form action="https://mywebsiteforexample.com/"  method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="id" value="01"/>
<input type="file" name="image">
<input type="submit" value="send">

</form>

</body>
</html>

Problem is whenever I have to upload the file on server, I need to manually browse the file to upload it. I want to write the same code in C# so when I run the code it itself select the file by path given, and upload the file so I don't need to browse and select the file manually. Is it possible.

Browsers force user interaction on file uploads for security reasons. — Crowcoder, Jan 18 '16 at 17:02
yes but is it possible to code the same using c# to eliminate interaction? — siddstuff, Jan 18 '16 at 17:04
since you can use c# to build asp.net applications I misunderstood your question. See csharpfolk answer. — Crowcoder, Jan 18 '16 at 18:12

You don't need to write code that fills input elements (if you want, use Selenium with C# driver). Just simulate POST action from simple console application using for e.g. HttpClient.

There are plenty of questions on SO how to do it, e.g. C# HttpClient 4.5 multipart/form-data upload
