Question

I’m developing a project for windows phone 7. It’s very simple I guess but I don’t know very well C# especially C# for wp7.

I have an existing php page with this code

<?php
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $ssid=$_GET['name'];
}
$name .= "Hello";
?>

I want to make a wp7 application where I can write a name in text, press the button to connect to server, pass the name in the text as php parameter and write server response in another text on mobile screen. How can I do this?

Create an HttpWebRequest with your query :

private void MyMethod(Action action){

   HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(string.Format("http://website/page.php?name={0}",name));
            webRequest.BeginGetResponse((callBack)=>{
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)callBack.AsyncState;
                                    WebResponse webResponse = request.EndGetResponse(callBack);
        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream()))
                    {
                        string response = string.Empty;
                        try
                        {
                            response = sr.ReadToEnd();
                        }
                        catch (Exception ex)
                        {
                            response = ex.Message;
                        }
                        action.Invoke(response);

                    }
webResponse.Close();

            },webRequest)

}
where textresponse is your server response
