like what i need is
<form action="https://myvirtualmerchant.com/VirtualMerchant/process.do" method="post">

Have a look at .Net's WebClient, to be more specifical at WebClient.UploadValues().

do you have a link?

Just in case you don;t have your MSDN ready, example from there:

Console.Write(ControlChars.Cr + "Please enter the URI to post data to : ")
Dim uriString As String = Console.ReadLine()
' Create a new WebClient instance.
Dim myWebClient As New WebClient()
' Create a new NameValueCollection instance to hold some custom parameters to be posted to the URL.
Dim myNameValueCollection As New NameValueCollection()
Console.WriteLine("Please enter the following parameters to be posted to the URL:")
Console.Write("Name:")
Dim name As String = Console.ReadLine()

Console.Write("Age:")
Dim age As String = Console.ReadLine()

Console.Write("Address:")
Dim address As String = Console.ReadLine()

' Add necessary parameter/value pairs to the name/value container.
myNameValueCollection.Add("Name", name)
myNameValueCollection.Add("Address", address)
myNameValueCollection.Add("Age", age)

Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Uploading to {0} ...", uriString)
' The Upload(String,NameValueCollection)' method implicitly sets the HTTP POST as the request method.
Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadValues(uriString, myNameValueCollection)

' Decode and display the response.
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Response received was :" + ControlChars.Cr + "{0}", Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray))
