Automating web entry at ASP web site

[Alan]

Hi. I am new to ASP, so please excuse the naive question. . . .

I would like to automate data entry into and trigger processing of a
web form that uses ASP. That is, I would like to programmatically
enter the data and trigger it being processed, instead of manually
entering the data.

What language would you recommend for this?

Can you point me to any good resources on this to read? I have been
unable to find anything on this topic.

Thanks, Alan

I hope your not talkin about traditional ASP...

I don't think it matters if he's talking about classic ASP or
ASP.NET. His post seems to revolve around creating an application to
act as though a user is entering data into a web page and then causing
that web page to process the data by causing the page to be posted to
the server.

Certainly does matter. First off, this is a .NET group, not classic ASP. Second, the way I see it it doesnt make much sense. Say you have a few thousand records you want to enter into a database, you enter them manually. If you want to enter the info automatically, where does this info come from? A database?! Or a text file maybe. Then you could perform recursion I guess over each line of the file, but I don't feel a website is the best place to do this. We need a lot more details, Alan.

[Alan]

Yes, that is right. Alan

[Brandon Betances]

What is right? I gave you a few options there. WE NEED DETAILS!

It is ASP.NET, and the data I want to feed it automatically originates
from a text file.
