Problem with WebRequest

Hello guys,

Im using the following code, which seems to work fine:

URL = "https://api2.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/user?k=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Dim Request2 As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL)
body = "{""external_guid"": """ & Session("userid") & """, ""client_guid"": ""ATR-3dfg43dj56cb7b"", ""email"":""" & Email & """}"
Request2.Method = "POST"
Request2.ContentType = "application/json"
Dim writer As New StreamWriter(Request2.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
writer.Write(body)
writer.Close()

The problem is that I have to see the response from the API.

I tried this:

Dim Response2 As HttpWebResponse = Request2.GetResponse

but it returns server 500 error

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

try this

string strRequest = "login=" + txtMember.Text;
                string url = "";
                url = "http://yoururl?";
                
                StreamWriter myWriter = null;
                HttpWebRequest objRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url + strRequest);
                objRequest.Method = "POST";
                objRequest.ContentLength = strRequest.Length;
                objRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
                myWriter = new StreamWriter(objRequest.GetRequestStream());
                myWriter.Write(strRequest);
                myWriter.Close();
                HttpWebResponse objResponse = (HttpWebResponse)objRequest.GetResponse();
                using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
                {
                    //Result_FromSMS = sr.ReadToEnd();
                    lblMemberStatus.Text = sr.ReadToEnd();
                    if (lblMemberStatus.Text == "true")
                    {
                        lblMemberStatus.Text = "Valid Member";
                        lblMemberStatus.ForeColor = Color.GreenYellow;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        lblMemberStatus.Text = "Invalid Member";
                        lblMemberStatus.ForeColor = Color.Red;
                    }
                    sr.Close();
                }
