How To Make Twitter Login Form In VB.NET

[VB.NET] Twitter Login Form

It is hard figuring out how to make a login app for a website when there is no “ID” attribute on the HTML code. Unlike facebook, which has an “ID” it is easy because it tells you right of the bat. Twitter on the other hand has no ID attribute for the username password or submit button. So I made this tut on how to login to twitter using TAGNAME instead.

Let’s start of by making a new project. Since this is just an example we will name it “TwitterLoginEX”. Once your new project is loaded go to the toolbox and add the following:

2 textboxes

1 button

1 webbrowser

Rename textbox 1 to “USERBOX” and textbox 2 to “PASSBOX” so it will be easier to remember which is which.

Now double click on the form to enter the form load event and put this code:

WebBrowser1.Navigate("https://mobile.twitter.com/session/new")

WebBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True

Now double click button 1 and enter this:

Dim elements As HtmlElementCollection =        WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")

elements(1).SetAttribute("value", USERBOX.Text)

elements(2).SetAttribute("value", PASSBOX.Text)

elements(3).InvokeMember("Click")

THAT’S IT, YOU JUST MADE A LOGIN TO TWITTER!
