How to pass parameters by POST to an Azure function?

Question

I'm trying to do a simple Azure Function to learn about it. There will be 3 functions:

• 1 function to insert a row into a table of a database. This table will contain the current date and a string parameters typed by the user and passed by GET.
• 1 function similar to the previous one, but passing the parameter by POST.
• 1 function to read the table and show its content.

I've been able to do the first and the third ones. But I can't pass the parameter by POST. I've looked for examples but I couldn't run them with success. The client app is a Windows Forms one.

Could anyone show me an example anout how to pass parameters by POST to the function and how to read them?

Thank's in advance

EDIT:

Here's the code to pass the parameters by GET (this is working fine):

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string cadena = lsql1.Text + "?notas=" + tNotas.Text;

    try
    {
        HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(cadena);
        HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

        if (res.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Grabado");
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show(res.StatusDescription);
        }
    }catch (WebException ex)
    {
        using (Stream s = ex.Response.GetResponseStream())
        {
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s);
            string text = sr.ReadToEnd();
            text = text.Substring(1, text.Length - 2);
            sr.Close();
            text = text.Replace("\\", "");
            text = "{" + text + "}";
            Error mensajeError = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Error>(text);

            MessageBox.Show(mensajeError.ExceptionMessage);
        }

    }
}

And here's the code to receive it and do the insert (this is working too):

[FunctionName("sql1")]
public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run(HttpRequestMessage req, TraceWriter log)
{
    try
    {
        log.Info("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");

        var cnnString = "Server=SERVIDOR;Database=base_prueba;User ID =azure;Password=0000;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=False;";

        using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(cnnString))
        {
            connection.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = connection.CreateCommand();

            DateTime fecha = DateTime.Today;

            string notas = req.GetQueryNameValuePairs()
            .FirstOrDefault(q => string.Compare(q.Key, "notas", true) == 0)
            .Value;

            // insert a log to the database
            cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Prueba_Azure (fecha, notas) VALUES ('" + fecha.ToString() + "', '" + notas + "')";
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }

        // Get request body
        dynamic data = await req.Content.ReadAsAsync<object>();

        return name == req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "Done");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        HttpResponseMessage res = req.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, ex);
        return res;
    }
}

What I'm looking for is to to this by POST

In case google took you here, this is how it's done in March 2019 (Azure Functions v3):

public static async void Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "post", Route = null)]
            HttpRequest req,
            ILogger log)
        {
            var content = await new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEndAsync();

            MyClass myClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyClass>(content);
            
        }
