There is a website that was created using ColdFusion (not sure if this matters or not). I need to interact with this web site. The main things I need to do are navigate to different pages and click buttons.

I have come up with two ideas on how to do this. The first is to use the WebBrowser control. With this, I could certainly navigate pages, and click buttons (According to This).

The other way is to interact with the html directly. Not sure exactly how to do this, but I am assuming I could click buttons or use HTML requests to interact with the page.

Does anyone have a recommendation on which way is better? Is there a better way that I haven’t thought of?

    I’d use Html AgilityPack to parse the html and then do POSTs and GETs appropriately with HttpWebRequest.

    While it may be possible to use the WebBrowser control to simulate clicks and navigation you get more control with Html AgilityPack and HttpWebRequest regarding what gets sent
