Hello,

I need to start an ASP.NET 2.0 web from within a Windows Form. I also need
to pass a username and password, but I would like to "hide" them so that they
do not appear in the URL.

Any idea how to do that?

Tahnks.

You can utilize WebBrowser control to show the page in the Win Forms
( http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/webbrowser.asp )

Another quesiton is if that ASP.NET form ( web application ) must be hosted also on that winforms application.
If so, then ( http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/aspnetruntime/aspnetruntime.asp )

Hello Vadym,

No, I need to start the default browser installed on the machine and pass
the user name and password to the page that I am calling.

It has to be a process not related to the win form that started it.
