how to create a win app which can interact with a website?

Question

Hi I'm trying to write a windows application which can read HTML content of a specific website and fill some data in some input fields and submit the page.
what I did untill now was reading page content from a WebBrowser object, navigated to the website.

I know that i need to create some request/response variables and work with them, but I have no good view on what i'm trying to do.
also, my information about HttpRequest and HttpResponse is so low...

HttpWebRequest is what you're looking for, examples for read/write to scrape abound.

WebClient might be simpler for you to implement but in the end is only a wrapper to the above.

You can try to use the approach described in the HttpWebRequest with https in C# thread as a starting point.
