Controling a web browser using a desktop application

Question

I want to know if I will be able to control a web browser using a C# program. What I want to do is the following:

I want to create a windows desktop application which will allow me to Open a web-browser (google chrome), input a webpage address, go to a web page, type something in a specific field or click something.

All of the above would have to be done automatically by the C# application without any user intervention after he opens up the application.

I want to know is it possible doing it in C# ? and if it isn't I would like some suggestions guiding me how would I go about creating this app, what programming language should I take a a look at or what should I research.

I only want a guidance for how I should go about creating this application.

Thanks to anyone who is going to answer ;)

There are a few possibilities to achieve this:

• Use WatIn http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17064/WatiN-Web-Application-Testing-In-NET
• Or Selenium http://docs.seleniumhq.org/
• Use WebClient, HttpRequest, HttpResponse classes
