Yes, you could achieve the same functionality in .NET using the WebClient class :

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        using (var client = new WebClient())
        {
            client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent] = "Mozilla/5.0(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5)Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5";
            var values = new NameValueCollection
            {
                { "login_username", "mehdi" },
                { "login22", "654321" },
                { "go", "submit" }
            };
            var result = client.UploadValues("http://example.com", values);

            // TODO: handle the result here like
            Console.WriteLine(Encoding.Default.GetString(result));
        }
    }
}
