Someone is building an application for me in VB.NET.
I want to be able to check out their work.
I want a way to fill up the form, by drawing values from a text file that contains sample values, as soon as I click a button (outside the application window).
Whats the best way to do this ?
More details :
Its like this. The form is open, say Page1.aspx. I am supposed to enter data in the form and check it and click the submit button. I dont want to enter values in different fields manually.
Assume, I have a set of sample values in a text file. Assume I can build this text file in whichever format to be read.
I should have another application running (call it Filler application), (I am ready to write this in VB6). I will click a "Fetch and Fill" button. It will ask for, say, record serial number. Then based on that, it will read the text file , read the values for the different fields, and FILL them one by one automatically into the different controls in Page1.aspx (okay wherever it is able to find matching controls).
Then I will lazily click the Submit button.
How to accomplish this ?
For writing the filler application, I am ready with VB6, but I want to know how to access a particular window, then a particular aspx form, then how to identify the controls and how to do the filling.
If VB6, is not okay, I can explore VB.NET too.
Instead of text file, I can use html or xml files.
What is the best way to achieve this ?
