Answer 1

It looks like you will have to get the page with a HttpWebRequest and parse the content of the corresponding HttpWebResponse to find out the names of text boxes. Then you submit the values to the page by using another HttpWebRequest.

So basically, what you need to do is the following:

1. Issue a HttpWebRequest with GET method to the URL where the page with text boxes is located
2. Get the response stream of the HttpWebResponse
3. Parse the page contained in the response stream and get the names of text boxes. You can use HTML Agility Pack for this purpose.
4. Issue a HttpWebRequest with POST method, with content type set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and key-value pairs as the content.
