How do I log in programmatically?

Post by klikouchin »

There is a MW-built website, that requires users to log in.
I have valid user id/password, so I can login manually - no problem.
Problem is that I need to be able to login to the website programmatically, from within my C# windows application.
When user clicks certain button in the app, I need to open default browser (usually IE >=8) and navigate to one of the website pages, being already logged in.
I got LOGIN examples from MW API - PHP and JScript codes - but being newbie in that staff I don't know what to do with those codes. Can anybody push me in the right direction?

Any help/advise will be appreciated.

Thank you
Alex ;)
