Question

I’m writing my first Windows CE app using the .NET Compact Framework v3.5.
I need the app to be able to do an HTTP POST to a URL.
It appears that the .NET CF does not have System.Web.
So, I could use some guidence on how to accomplish and HTTP Posts using the .Net CF. Thanks, Greg

Does this satisfy your needs?

You need to import
System.IO
System.Net
System.Net.HttpWebRequest

Try    Dim Request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create('<The server>'), HttpWebRequest)     Request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = True    Request.KeepAlive = False    Request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials    Request.ContentType = 'text/html'    Request.Method = 'POST'     'If required    'Dim proxyURI As New Uri('193.129.241.46', UriKind.Absolute)    'Dim webProxy As New WebProxy    'webProxy.Address = proxyURI    'webProxy.Credentials = New NetworkCredential('', '')    'Request.Proxy = webProxy     Dim requestStream As Stream = Request.GetRequestStream    Dim Writer As New IO.BinaryWriter(requestStream)    Writer.Close()     Dim Reader As New BinaryReader(Request.GetResponse.GetResponseStream)    Reader.Close() Catch ex As Exception    Throw ex End Try
