Programmatically submitting a form

[David Veeneman]

I am building a form in code that I need to submit programmatically. How do
I do it in ASP.NET?

I am building a page that will create an HTML form on the server. The user
won't see the page; its sole purpose is to create and submit the form. I
store the form in a string:

string s = "<form target='somesite' action='https://www.somesite.com
method='post'>"
+ "<input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='MyWidget'>"
+ <input type='hidden' name='item_number' value='MW1'>"
...
+ "</form>";

Now I need a code statement to submit the form. How do I do that in C# or
VB? Thanks.

You do it on the client with a javascript call myForm.sibmit();

If you want to do it from .NET code (codebehind), you should take a look at:
Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(XXXx, "YYYY");

might be what you're looking for...

Can it be done on the server? I'd rather not send this form to the client.
It has fields a hacker could use to defraud the site. Thanks again.

Where do you intend to run it? A web form usually runs in the client's
browser.

Do you mean the server application creates the form and submit it to another
server?

I think I found my answer--use WebClient.UploadValues(). See
