C# .NET - [Help me] How to use c# to POST data and retrive

i am writing a small tool for myself just to allow me to login to a phpbb forum from a C# application.

let's say i got:
forum address: http://www.honghong.net/honghongforum/
[textbox] - txtUser
[textbox] - txtPass
[checkbox] - chkRememberMe
[button] - btnLogin


how can I send those data above to the forum then get the "forum topic" listed into a [listbox] with webrequest and webrespond in c#?

please help me out because i have no clue at all.
Those samples and tutorial i found from internet only shows me how to POST, but did not show me how to retrive the respond.

Thanks.

Try this..
[CODE]
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
                  WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); 

                  StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); 

                  string str = reader.ReadLine();
                  while(str != null)
                  {
                        Console.WriteLine(str);
                        str = reader.ReadLine();
                  }

[/CODE]

Thanks. but it doesn't show me the page after i login.
it gave me the html without login. and not even the page that says error login.
it's like i've POST the data for login, but retrive a different non-login page.

cheers mate.

Next I'll have to figure how to read into the next page(into the forum topic to see the latest reply or threads), because i think the page needs to read cookie to varified I'm the logged in user and display the post/reply threads.

i am also trying to post values automatically to an asp page from asp.net application. I need to manipulate the search results.

How do i do this.

I tried ur sample code, but i don't know how to retrieve values from my search results.

NameValueCollection formData = new NameValueCollection(); 
formData["Last_Name"] = "SMITH"; 
formData["Social_Security"] = "244557719"; 
formData["Dob"] = "03/08/1982"; 
WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); 
byte[] responseBytes = webClient.UploadValues("https://www.xyz.com/regver/verification1.asp" , "POST", formData);
