[dba-VB] Pushing data to a web page

Sure, my example could work both ways.  It's actually pretty easy.  To pull
data off, you have two options, though.  Option 1 is to pull it from a
browser.  This is handy if the data is already segmented out the way you
want.  To pull it from a browser, just create a browser object, and navigate
to the site you want data from.  Then loop through the browser's document
object, to grab the data within the document's objects.  That's pretty easy.
Just open the source of the page, and use the various control names to get
the values.

Option 2 is faster, and easier to code, but a little more difficult to 'sort
out' the data.  You can use API calls to directly download the web page,
then with a little string manipulation, you can pull the data out.

Do you perhaps have a sample of going the other way - Retrieving from a web
page?  I regularly access a site to retrieve data for one of my databases.
Go to main page - select by an id number and then clip some of the data.
Would like to automate if possible.

Does anyone know how to manipulate a web page from VB/VB.net?  I need to
place values in text boxes, click radio buttons, click command buttons etc.
