Question

with the WebClient class in .NET 4.0, is there a way to do a PUT?

I know you can do a GET with DownloadString() and a POST with UploadString(), but is there a method or property that lets you do a PUT?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There are overloads for UploadString that let you specify the method. For example, this one takes a Uri, a string for the method, and a string for the data.

using (var webClient = new WebClient())
{
    webClient.UploadString(apiUrl, 
        WebRequestMethods.Http.Put, // or simply use "PUT"
        JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload))
}
