I am trying to 'call' a web hosted php program/script from a VB.Net aplication.
The script has no output, but needs to run every day.

I have set a timer to trigger at the correct intervals,
But don't know what i don't know.

I have everything done, but I cannot find how to call the url.

I think it used to be an OpenURL call in an older activeX control, but I cannot locate the current equivalent in .Net. There is also a method in Wininet.dll, but it does not seem to referenceable from VB.NET

Please help.
Thanks
