Programmatically invoking the Live.com search

  • Article

Live.com you need to automate that in your Windows application. You will use the WebBrowser control. This is a very powerful control and allows us to control things through DOM. Here is a small code which insert values to the live.com’s seach text box and clicks the “Go” button. I have created a windows forms application and added a WebBrowser control named “webBrowser1”.

//Set the value to the Search text box

webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("sb_form_q").SetAttribute("value", "Wriju's BLOG");

//Now click the button

//this actually submits the one and only one form

//So you need to do that

webBrowser1.Document.Forms[0].InvokeMember("submit");

Namoskar!!!
