Gambling Automation - Site Log in

01 UPDATE USER INTERFACE: add button, change text to 'login', change name to 'buttonlogin'

02 CREATE CODE FOR LOGIN:   Click Project-> add class.... , add new class called AutoSports.cs to put the automation methods.

create a login method in it, cut the Browser line created in last post in Form1.cs into AutoSports class, import 3 required packages, add the try block in the new created login method, this will prevent any crash if the login process goes wrong,  add writeLine in the catch block, so if things go wrong you will be informed.

open your ie8, go to http://www.sportsbet.com.au/, and press F12 to bring the developer tool, click the top left arrow and then click user name input box, this will bring you the code behind it, Check the element id is 'username', same you can find id for password box is 'password', and login-button's id is'login-button'.

add the following code into method login, I change browser object name to br, to save typing time. the if sentence is to check if being logged in already. the following lines are straightforward, fill in the info and click the button

go to form1.design change the password textbox to shown stars

create AutoSports object from the AutoSports class we just created in Form1.cs
