I need to create a small program to
A. go to a website and login
B. Download a pdf to specified folder.
C. strip the pdf, drop that data to a database(SQL)
I am not looking for a gimme codezz.. just if anybody has a link to a couple of tutorials or articles that would show me the basics? I have not found any as of yet.(possible that my Google foo is down today its been a rough morning.) Mainly the first two parts that I have issues with, the last one I have something that somewhat works already.(but wouldn't hurt to understand it better.)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions given..

A. might be hard depending on how annoying the website is, usually you just send a POST somewhere and then handle the cookies (see HttpWebRequest) but sometimes the site forces you to use javascript (may have to use a WebBrowser Control, which likes to steal focus (even when hidden) and generally get in your way).
B. is easy if you could use a HttpWebRequest in step A, a WebBrowser control again likes to get in your way and makes things hard.

yeah A is my biggest problem so far.. the rest I think I can figure out based on what I have, but I have to get past logging in and then going to the correct page..

Ok typically that would look like:
Create a HttpWebRequest, point it towards the submit location of the login form, change the method to POST, use a CookieContainer, write some data (with percent encoding), then get the response.
Then just download the file with an other HttpWebRequest. Don't bother navigating. But send the cookies, otherwise you're not logged in anymore.

Thanks. I'll get to work on it.

I have downloaded the TaskScheduler library and I'm able to use it without an issue. My problem is that I created a job in my Scheduled Tasks but when I run the command GetTaskNames(), the function returns just two system create jobs. Looking at the code I saw that the function only returns scheduled tasks that have a .job extension. How do I create a job that I can get access to via the TaskScheduler library.
Thanks
Bob

Very good. Which one? Is it from an article? If so, ask this question in the forum at the end of the article.

This is a known problem with the task scheduler API's. There are two versions of them. Jobs created with one version of the API cannot be seen by the other version of the API.
I can't remember the exact cirumstances and cannot find the link to where I read this right now, but it's out there somewhere.

Actually I didn't create the scheduled task using the API, I created it using the Task Scheduler on my computer.

And what do you think that used to create the Task? Yep, one of the API's.
|
|
|
|
|
So the tool in All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Task Scheduler actually uses the APIs that I downloaded from Dennis Austin's article?
|
|

You did NOT download the API's for the Windows Task Scheduler. You downloaded a wrapper for the API's that makes it easier to use them in your own code. The API's are part of Windows, not something you downloaded.
|
|
|
|
|
The wrapper you downloaded only wraps the Task Scheduler 1.0 API. It will still create jobs that work under XP, Vista, and 7, but you will not be able to see those jobs and modify them using any tools that use the Task Scheduler 2.0 API, that includes System Tools -> Task Scheduler.

The only code you're going to get here is the code YOU write. Noone is going to hand over a project to you to turn in as your own work.
If you're stuck and need help with a specific problem, THEN we can help. If you're just begging for someone to hand over code, you've come to the wrong place.

The application is missing the icon App.ico. You have probably hard coded the path to this icon, and the path in the new computer is different.

As well as Wayne's answer, you really need to check which forum you post your messages in. This is the C# forum, and people can be very unkind to VB.NET here.
