sending information with a url redirect

[MotorcycleIke]

I have a need to send a user to another url, either with a redirect or
with a frame.

I need to have two fields filled in and a button pressed on the new url.

How can this be done?

Thanks,

--> Passing in the querystring.
--> or session variable.

If the site you're redirecting to is under your control, it would be easiest
to pass the data via querystring and have the recieving page code adjusted
to accept parameters in this way.

If the site is not yours, you'll likely need to use the webrequest object.
Here's more info on that:

The site is not ours, so we'll try working with the webrequest object.
I am going to have to look for an example that fits. My coding skills
aren't up to the explanation given at the microsoft site.
Thanks for the assistance.

maybe. depends on how the other site is coded. if its postback logic
supports gets, then you can redirect.

http://somesite.com/somepage.cgi?fi...field2name=field2value&buttonname=buttonvalue

if its an aspx form, you need to send a valid viewstate, you would need to
use webclient to call the website to get the viewstate.

if the site requires session data to support its postback, again you are out
of luck.
