How can I make my C# app log in to a website that requires username/password authentication? The page uses Apache Struts, if it matters.

I'm in High School. I would love if it had any classes to do with coding but sadly my school is full of rednecks. So no, its not my homework. Why do you assume such? – user377419 Sep 14 '10 at 21:58

@user377419, please elaborate on what you are trying to actually accomplish once you login. Do you want to pull down a bunch of data (use HtmlAgilityPack). Do you want to interact with a JS/AJAX heavy website with lots of dynamic content? (use WatiN) Do you want low-level access at the HTTP level so you have complete control? (use HttpWebRequest) – Kirk Woll Sep 14 '10 at 22:37

You need to send data to the web server to simulate a form submission.
There are a few questions that already address this:
Fake a form submission with C# WebClient
How to submit http form using C#
Hopefully now you have a more clear idea of what you are looking for.
