Is it possible to get username and password from windows form and send them to a webpage and the webpage begins checking if the username and password is acceptable … if it is true i switch to another windows form if its false i popup a messagebox to tell him check your username or password. Thanks

You could do this with RestSharp (https://github.com/johnsheehan/RestSharp), a really nice library for simple REST requests.

Here’s an example using this library:

var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");

var request = new RestRequest("resource/{id}", Method.POST);
request.AddParameter("username", txtUsername.Text); // adds to POST or URL querystring based on Method
request.AddParameter("password", txtPassword.Text); // adds to POST or URL querystring based on Method

// execute the request
RestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
var content = response.Content; // raw content as string
