Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overrides Property Method As String

Dim instance As HttpWebRequest
Dim value As String
value = instance.Method
instance.Method = value
public override string Method { get; set; }
Property Value
Type:
System..::.StringThe request method to use to contact the Internet resource. The default value is GET.
The Method property can only be set to GET and POST methods. Any other HTTP 1.1 or 1.0 protocol verbs (HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, or OPTIONS, for example) will throw a NotSupportedException exception.
If an application implements a custom WebRequest class and does not override the Method property, then the NotImplementedException is thrown.
' Change this Uri to a public server
Dim myUri As System.Uri = New Uri("http://www.contoso.com")
' Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
Dim myHttpWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(myUri)
' Set the 'Method' property to "POST".
myHttpWebRequest.Method="PUT"
' Set the 'ContentType' property.
myHttpWebRequest.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
' Get the 'ContentType' property and print the current value
outputBlock.Text &= "HttpWebRequest.ContentType: "
outputBlock.Text &= myHttpWebRequest.ContentType
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
