Answer 1

Use the class described here. This is a pretty good method and I use it all the time:

public class  RemotePost{
     private  System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection Inputs 
     = new  System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection() ;

    public string  Url  =  "" ;
    public string  Method  =  "post" ;
    public string  FormName  =  "form1" ;

    public void  Add( string  name, string value ){
        Inputs.Add(name, value ) ;
     }

     public void  Post(){
        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear() ;

         System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write( "" ) ;

         System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write( string .Format( "" ,FormName)) ;

         System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write( string .Format( "
" ,

        FormName,Method,Url)) ;
            for ( int  i = 0 ; i< Inputs.Keys.Count ; i++){
            System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write( string .Format( "" ,Inputs.Keys[i],Inputs[Inputs.Keys[i]])) ;
         }
        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write( "
" ) ;
         System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write( "" ) ;
         System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.End() ;
     }
} 

Use it like:

RemotePost myremotepost  =  new  RemotePost() ;
myremotepost.Url  =  "http://www.jigar.net/demo/HttpRequestDemoServer.aspx" ;
myremotepost.Add( "field1" , "Huckleberry" ) ;
myremotepost.Add( "field2" , "Finn" ) ;
myremotepost.Post() ;
