String^ inputData = Console::ReadLine(); String^ postData = String::Concat( "firstone= ", inputData ); ASCIIEncoding^ encoding = gcnew ASCIIEncoding; array<Byte>^ byte1 = encoding->GetBytes( postData ); // Set the content type of the data being posted. myHttpWebRequest->ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; // Set the content length of the String* being posted. myHttpWebRequest->ContentLength = byte1->Length; Stream^ newStream = myHttpWebRequest->GetRequestStream(); newStream->Write( byte1, 0, byte1->Length ); Console::WriteLine( "The value of 'ContentLength' property after sending the data is {0}", myHttpWebRequest->ContentLength ); // Close the Stream Object*. newStream->Close();
