Call a webpage with a command line c# program
« on: March 25, 2009, 10:23 AM »
I'm converting a Form based C# application to an automatic command line based C# version. However I need to call a webpage (like a cron job would), but I don't know how to do it from the command line. In a form I would call play.webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(address); (after calling the play class that has a web browser element).

Anyone help with this? I don't think I need any feedback from the page at all.

If you just want to launch the default browser use ShellExecture() API

Use the URL in double quotes as the "filename" and the 'open' verb
Handle, Working dir and all the rest can be NULL or 0
