Question

I have been coding a application in c#, which data is send through get function

Its like this

Http://www.myweb.com/co.php?a=10&b=20

I am new to c# web programming, so i was wondering how can send the same data through post function. Because if i use $_POST in the php file it dont get the values, i researched a bit and found that POST function takes data in the body rather then in URL.

I just to convert the procedure from GET TO POST. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use HttpWebRequest, setting the Method and ContentType properties appropriately:

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.myweb.com/co.php");

// your choice of encoding, I just picked ASCII here
var body = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("a=10&b=20");

request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = body.Length;

using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream()) {
    stream.Write(body, 0, body.Length);
}
