Hi,

Well, my experience of using a web browser in VB.Net is that you have
to keep to the same browser and cannot mix a HTTPWebRequest with a
WebBrowser1 object!

What I tried was getting the pin number via a web browser object, then
sending that back via a HTTPWebRequest class. It failed miserably.
Perhaps it was my code?

I too am writing a VB.NET program for Twitter! It is very exciting
work. I would have finished it last week but I had a whole week off
coding because of the flu.

What I have left to do is parse all the XML into my program correctly.
Also, just a quick note - the XML.document.load in VB.NET does NOT
accept UTF-8 as an encoding method - so I suggest reformatting the XML
document as ASCII before trying to load it. ALSO - remove any white
space (there are about three spaces at the beginning of the document!)
otherwise VB.NET throws its toys out the pram.

There are a few other issues too with XML documents and Twitter - such
as the '&' character being illegal. You have to replace every & with a
non-space if you want your document to load! Other than that - I
finally got my document into a VB.NET XML Document and now parsing the
XML is easy-peasy. This is because all you have to do is specify which
node name you want to retrieve - and VB.NEt does all the work! Haha.

I am really tired today - but I might work on the VB.NET program some
more later on after I finish my nap :)
