System.Net.HttpWebRequest equivalent

[John]

Hi

What is the System.Net.HttpWebRequest equivalent code for the MS XML related
code below?

Thanks

Regards


Set oHttpPost = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
oHttpPost.Open "POST", "www.MyUrl.com", False
oHttpPost.setRequestHeader "Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

POSTData = "<data here>"

oHttpPost.Send (POSTData)

If (oHttpPost.status >= 200 And oHttpPost.status < 300) Then
St = oHttpPost.responseText
End If

Check out WebClient and its methods
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string st = client.UploadString("http://example.com/page.aspx",
"<data here>");

Check out WebClient and its methods
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Add
client.Headers.Add("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
here
string st = client.UploadString("http://example.com/page.aspx", "<data
here>");

Hi

Many thanks. Have been reading on WebCLient but can't figure what replaces
oHttpPost.status and oHttpPost.responseText. Have googled to but couldn't
find an equivalent example.

Thanks again.

The responseText is the return value of a call such as UploadString().

The status isn't directly available however if a status representing a
problem in 400 or 500 range is received the call will throw a WebException.

If you need further details you can interogate the execption's properties.
For example
((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusCode would get you the status code
returned by the server.
