Hey guys.

So i am trying to grab specific things from a site that is protected by a user and password, now normally i use the web browser feature when handling sites in vb.net but i am not too sure how to go about this problem.

Currently i have

Code

Using wc As New WebClient
      html = wc.DownloadString("https://sitename.com/admin/products")
      End Using

      Dim regx As New Regex("name=([\w+?\.\w+])+([a-zA-Z0-9\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)_\-\=\+\\\/\?\.\:\;\,]*)?", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
      Dim matches As MatchCollection = regx.Matches(html)

but using the above method just wants to jump right in there with out a pass or anything, how should i get around this?

I would login to the site using webrequest and the information you get when you inspect element and login.

Store the cookies in a cookiecontainer.

Navigate the product site with webrequest(using the captured cookies)
