    Web Data Gathering

    I am looking for some direction, I am not sure if it can be done. I am new to ASP.net programming but have been programming in VB for years(although I am still a novice) so any direction would be helpful.

    I am wanting to create a program that will go to a secure web site, login(with a provided login/pass), fill in information on several pages, then either it will be screen scraping the information from the final web page or be getting a file from the site. The final step is the store the information gotten from the site file form or a database.

    I am not sure what/where I need to look for some direction. What technology/books/web sites/classes will help me get the knowledge to start creating this program? Are there certain .NET classes that allow this(WebClient,WebRequest)?

    I know of other companies doing this like QL2, I want to build my own.

     

    Thanks for any help.
