LMAO...he used the words .NET and great in the same sentance. I didn't
realize that could be done without the space-time continuum imploding in on
itself. <eg>

| Hi Jeff,
|
| I'm not familiar with URGE. Based on my searching and your description,
| it's a music online download site that need to login to use its service.
|
| I'm also not very sure about the "WMP 11" part in your question, do you
| mean WMP 11 can download from URGE and you want to do this same
| functionality yourself?
|
| Based on my experience, normally accessing such web site programmatically
| will depend on the web site's interface:
|
| 1) If it provides webservices, then it's easy to use them from .NET since
| NET supports add web reference and it will help create a proxy class for
| you to call the service.
|
| 2) If it doesn't have webservice or any APIs, all you have to do will be
| doing what a web browser could do: login to get a cookie, programmatically
| create a request (and pass the cookie) and send it to the web site and
read
| its web response and parse the result. This is not easy, for example: if
| the web site use CAPTCHA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha) on login
| page, it's almost impossible for a program to login that site; and the
| returned html source will be difficult to parse out the information you
| needed.
|
| I would recommend you to use VB.NET instead of VB since .NET has great
| class library for using web service or web request.
|
| By the way, this newsgroup is for VB questions; you need to use
| microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb for VB.NET questions.
