I am currently developing a wp8.1 application C#, i have managed to perform a POST method in json to my api by creating a json object (bm) from textbox.texts. here is my code below. How do i take the same textbox.text and POST them as a content type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded. whats the code for that?
Profile bm = new Profile();
bm.first_name = Names.Text;
bm.surname = surname.Text;
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(bm);
MessageDialog messageDialog = new MessageDialog(json);//Text should not be empty
await messageDialog.ShowAsync();
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Type", "application/json");
byte[] messageBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
var content = new ByteArrayContent(messageBytes);
content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
var response = client.PostAsync("myapiurl", content).Result;
var nvc = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
nvc.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Input1", "TEST2"));
nvc.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Input2", "TEST2"));
var client = new HttpClient();
var req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, url) { Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(nvc) };
var res = await client.SendAsync(req);
Or
var dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
dict.Add("Input1", "TEST2");
dict.Add("Input2", "TEST2");
var client = new HttpClient();
var req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, url) { Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(dict) };
var res = await client.SendAsync(req);
