HttpWebRequest with GET and POST

I want to send data to a url via HttpWebRequest in ASP.net but I need to send some data via GET method and another data via POST method, is it possible? How do I send it?

Are you saying that you want to send both GET and POST data in the same request. I think that's possible. You can encode the GET data as Query String, but still set the request method as POST and write the POST data into the request stream.

If I use:

req = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://mydomain/Link.aspx?opt=0949889EA5EA&type=simple&pass=False"), HttpWebRequest)

I send opt, type and pass via GET?

Well, to be correct, actually you are sending those through query string. However, if you are making GET request, the only way you can pass parameters is also through query string.
Btw, what do you want to achieve actually? Maybe if you can tell use more, we can provide better suggestion ...
