Using HttpWebRequest

[Roger R. Smith]

I would like to take some data off an ASP.NET form and then use that data to
post a new form to another web site. I was going to use:
HttpWebRequest, but I want to be able to post the form and follow the form
submission.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rog

And the problem is ?

You could perhaps try System.Net.WebClient that is AFAIK a bit higher level
than httpRequest.
Especially
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...fsystemnetwebclientclassuploadvaluestopic.asp
should be what you are looking for.

What do you mean by "follow the form submission". You can read back what the
form sent back (likely HTML code).

If I try to use paypal for instance from my site and I collect some
information on an ASP.NET web form and then I want to do some processing
before I forward onto paypal. I then went to put the relevant information
into a form and submti that form to paypal and have the page redirect to to
the paypal page with the data that was just submitted in the form.
I want to use a form submission rather than a get to prevent users from
changing the parms in the request url.
Thank you so much for replying!!!

The link in the previous message should do that. System.NEt.WebCLient allosw
very easily to add input fields in a collection and post these fields to a
URL (as you would do by submitting a form).

Once this is done you just continue. You could read back what paypal returns
and carry on in your code...

Try :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...fsystemnetwebclientclassuploadvaluestopic.asp
And come back if it doesn't work.
