Internet Application - need help, simple question

Hello:

I'm new to programming and C#. I'm trying to create an application that will do web tasks without actually opening a browser (ie. go to hotmail.com and log in, compose an email etc...). How would I do this? Tried to google this, but had no luck (i'm not searching for the right thing).

Can someone please guide me in the right direction...

Thanks,

Vinny

If you want to send e-mail from hotmail, a better way would be talking to it directly...

Here are 2 articles that could be of help:

http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/C-Sharp/Hotmail-using-C-sharp-A-HTTPMail-client-under-.NET/

ofcourse to do this the other way you would have to manually create a virtual webbrowser that sends POST data and GET data to the host and appropriately store secure cookies and so on and so on... and that is a pain in the neck

Ty for your quick reply bm##. I'm not trying to log into hotmail, just a website in general...I think what i'm looking for is a virtual we browser as you suggested. Any help on this??
