You must provide a request body...

[jamie_pattison]

                If System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then
                        responseEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
                        responseStream = HttpWResponse.GetResponseStream()
                        responseReader = New StreamReader(responseStream, responseEncoding)
                        responseContent = responseReader.ReadToEnd()
                        Return responseContent
                End If

For the above code im trying to send a request with PostData but i receive the error "You must provide a request body if you set ContentLength>0 or SendChunked==true. Do this by calling [Begin]GetRequestStream before [Begin]GetResponse."

If i change the code around it doesnt work. Could anyone assist or explain what is going wrong here please? Searching around my code is similar to what others have and they have it working but not sure where to start to diagnose where the problem is.

Thanks in advance

For a POST request you first call GetRequestStream and post your 'post data' there, after that you can get the response. There's a POST code sample down at this page: How to: Send Data Using the WebRequest Class
