I am writing a C# WinForms application that fills a form automatically on an existing website.
Let's consider http://tinypic.com/ as an example to illustrate my problem.
When the user clicks the Browse button, a file browser dialog opens as a modal dialog. In my case, the modal window is opened from code and I own the form and the WebBrowser control.
How can I access this modal window programmatically and paste/enter my filename into it ?
I don't know particularly, but I do believe its possible (even if you have to hook the OS)
You might want to check TwebstLib for such functionality

Writing Selenium script to test action linked to a button located on a webpage. Clicking button opens a modal form (windows form) from which user is expected to select a file.
Selenium script handles with the execution of test script up to the moment when the modal form 'File Upload' (File Input) is opened.
Does anyone has any suggestion on how Selenium can recognize opened form, and close it?
Selenium is used to automate browser actions. Modal windows are not browsers. You will need something else.
AutoIt is a Windows-only possible solution.
Robot Framework is another possibility.
There are others ... do some research.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, and i'm creating a website using C#.
I'm opening a pop-up when user clicks a button.
Now i want to perform the task mentioned below:
When a pop-up opens i do not want user to click anywhere else. I mean
he should be able to click or do any activity in the pop-up window
ONLY, whereas he shouldn't be able to do anything in the parent
window until and unless he closes the pop-up.
How to achieve this?
Depends on how you are creating the website. C# is the server-side language and can be used in ASP.Net websites as well as MVC.
If ASP.Net, Ajax Control Toolkit has a modal popup:

If MVC, jQuery has a modal popup:

Are you referring to the WinForms or the WPF WebControl?
Have you downloaded the latest RC? Download it here.
The WinForms WebControl provides all dialogs. The WPF WebControl provides all dialogs too, however, folder selection dialogs are only supported on Windows Vista and newer. If the dialogs do not appear, you may have to handle the SelectLocalFiles event. Make sure the event is fired. If it is but you still see no dialog, handle the event yourself and display your own modal dialog. Provide the result to FileDialogEventArgs.SelectedFile or FileDialogEventArgs.SelectedFiles and don't forget to set FileDialogEventArgs.Handled to true.
What version of Awesomium? You need probably 1.7RC2 which has modal dialog boxes.
I have a WPF where I am implementing a WebBrowser control and I have a list of objects that when i select them it changes the url binding for the webBrowser control and all is well.
However, if the web page I am on tries to close the Webpage, a dialog pops up where you can hit yes or no to close the "window" (the WebBrowser control)
If the user hits "yes" then the web browser control is closed and exceptions are thrown when you try to select something else in the list because the window doesn't exist anymore.
The webbrowser control does not have a method for closing exposed where i can get to it and I was able to override the "Window.Close()" method but that also prevented me from closing the main app window.
I have tried inheriting from the WebBrowser class but it is sealed so I can't inherit to add event handlers or override methods such as "Close()" or events such as "OnClosing()"
I have no control over the website because it is a third party product.
Also, the WebBrowser control is not cancelling navigation when exiting.
so my question is
A. Is it possible to intercept the dialog and always answer "no"?
or
B. Is there another way to prevent the WebBrowser control from closing even if the person says "yes" to the dialog?
So, I ended up putting the control in it's separate view and then constructing and destroying the view as a dialogue
Once I had to solve a similar situation. It was a Delphi application, with an embedded TWebBrowser component, which is essentially the same thing as the WebBrowser of .NET. The software automatically clicked on elements of the webpage, and there was a case when after the click a confirm dialog popped up. The simplest way to press the OK button automatically was to call FindWindow with the parameters of the confirm dialog, and use the window handle to send it an Enter key press by calling SendInput. I think in your case an Escape key press is needed.
I am using WebBrowserControl in winforms to automate a data entry form. This website opens a new dialog window using ShowModalDialog and puts all the form fields in that new dialog window. How can I access that modal dialog window's contents from my winforms code and want to populate fields. When I access the webbrowser's document it shows the main document not the opened dialog window. Is there any way to access the opened dialog's document? I tried to inject javascript to access contents but the javascript is blocked till the modal dialog is open.
I used WatiN and it could handle the modal dialogs. WatiN also handles the cross domain iframe access
