  <pre><code>   public class WebRequestPostExample
  {
      public static void Main ()
      {
          // Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. 
          WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create ("http://www.contoso.com/PostAccepter.aspx ");
          // Set the Method property of the request to POST.
          request.Method = "POST";
          // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
          string postData = "This is a test that posts this string to a Web server.";
          byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (postData);
          // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
          request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
          // Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
          request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
          // Get the request stream.
          Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream ();
          // Write the data to the request stream.
          dataStream.Write (byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
          // Close the Stream object.
          dataStream.Close ();
          // Get the response.
          WebResponse response = request.GetResponse ();
          // Display the status.
          Console.WriteLine (((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
          // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
          dataStream = response.GetResponseStream ();
          // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
          StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (dataStream);
          // Read the content.
          string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd ();
          // Display the content.
          Console.WriteLine (responseFromServer);
          // Clean up the streams.
          reader.Close ();
          dataStream.Close ();
          response.Close ();
