  Request.Form vs Request.BinaryRead ?

  Mar 29, 2012 12:08 PM|LINK

  For start, sorry if this is wrong forum.

  Im trying to send data from a Windows Form to an aspx page and send back a response.

  Im running around in circles trying to make this work.

  The data im trying to send is 4 strings.

  So fare I have this in my code, using the build-in webclient in visual studio 2010, in the windows form sending to the aspx

  strSendString= "v1=something1&v2=something2&v3=something3&v4=something4"

  WebClient1.UploadString("http://randomdomain.com/myaspxpage.aspx", strSendString)

  If I use below code, in the aspx, im able to handle POST information

  Dim Param() As Byte = Request.BinaryRead(HttpContext.Current.Request.ContentLength)
  Dim strRequest As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Param)

  But if I use below code, in the aspx page, V1 and rest, is empty, why?

  HttpContext.Current.Request.Form("V1")

  Im not sure what was wrong, but i think that what sovled it to use uploadvalues if I want to be able to access request.form values,

  AND to upload a namevaluecollection and not a string.
