I have a html form and i am filling this form automatically using c# web browser..I have done filling all the fields,except choose file option..
Choose file option is used to select files..in my case it selects image..
what i want is that, i want to give it a value like:

<input type="file" name="something" value="c:\image1.jpg" />..

But due to security reasons value attribute is not allowed for file type..so i can not give it a url of my image..
here is the code of webpage..

<input type="file" name="image" class="js_uploader_files_input" size="30" önchange="addMoreToProgressBar();">

Basically what i want is to upload image..
so i think there can be 2 options..
1)if i can give the image source to input tag.
2)or automatically upload the image.

Kindly suggest me,the way to solve this..

Here is the solution for WebBrowser control: Setting a file to upload inside the WebBrowser component[^].

But in general it is a better approach to simulate/emulate a browser, and not automate it. For such tasks using HttpClient[^] is a much better approach - but a different one, since you need more http knowledge, and you need to get to know the client-server data exchange of the web application.
