Hello,
I am trying to use a WebBrowser control in a winform to allow a user to log in to a site, and then make HttpWebRequest using the cookie that is accepted.
This procedure is suggested here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/c8107e4d-fe8f-4be9-81a4-0575eb72248f/

However, when I try to access WebBrowser.Document.Cookie, I see that Cookie is null.
The login proccess is seccesfull, as I can continue browsing the site while logged in, but Document.Cookie is null.

How can I get that cookie?

Thanks,
Itay.

using webbrowser you can load a certain page-navigate somewhere-automate login- get in- open some other page- grab data on that page etc. All this even without showing to user and without any interaction from user.

try to search relevant to this in this forum. use DOM to access elements.

you can do it like
webbrowser1.document.getElementbyId("idForusernameTextBoxInPage").setAttribute("value","whatever you want")

and invoke form's submit method after filling both textboxes like

......document.forms("formName").invokeMember("submit")

try it, ask otherwise.


and if you want help with that then please provide relevant source of that webpage.

Could you share the link of page you're trying to work with ?

Open that page in internet explorer and login. then in IE's address bar enter
javascript:alert(document.cookie);
and press Enter key.

Shows something ?

Hi,

The page I'm trying to work with is my college's external login. It's in Hebrew, so I don't know if it will make sense to you, but it's a simple page where the top textbox is for the student ID, the second one is for password, and the button logs you in.
http://www.mta.ac.il/mta/infostation/login/default.aspx

Anywany I am 100% sure I get a cookie, and If with document.cookie I cansee the cookie(as you suggested).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Itay.

No. When I load page I get no cookies except aspSession. and I dont have login details, I cant see what happens when someone logs in.

Are you trying to automate that page ? You can do it using webbrowser too. Little lengthy but it works. You can try that as alternative.

Is there another way to get the cookie?
Is there a reason why I will get null cookie?
Is there another way to do what I'm trying?

Thanks,

No idea about first 2, for 3rd question, there is. You can use webbrowser control to achieve the same.
I mean instead of stealing a cookie from webbrowser control, use the same control. You dont have to deal with cookies then.
