Login to a site with C #

I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I could not find what I needed (for now).

I am working on a program that downloads files from university websites that use the same infrastructure. This is an open source project that I am trying to maintain in my free time (posted in doble code: http://code.google.com/p/highlearner/ )

So far, we have used GET and POST requests to enter the desired page and upload files. But universities continue to change their websites, and every small change requires preparation at Highlearner, which requires a new version, automatic updating of all users, etc. In addition, each university has its own login page, requiring me to set up login sequences ...

So I'm looking for a more reliable solution. Instead of manually redirecting and setting HTTP parameters. Is there some kind of mini browser that supports HTML + Javascript? A graphical interface is not needed, I only need an engine. That way, I just need to fill out the form parameters and let the browser do the work.

Thanks Nitay

using (var ie = new IE(loginUrl)) 
{
    if (ie.TextField("username").Exists 
       && ie.TextField("password").Exists)
    {
        ie.TextField("username").Value = "username";
        ie.TextField("password").Value = "password";
        ie.Button(Find.ByName("submit")).Click();
    }
}
