HttpClient would be the preferred way to approach this. That class is set up to work asynchronously by default. (As developers, we desire asynchronicity in most of our code dealing I/O requests, such as web requests.) If you also add a reference to System.Net.Http.Formatting, then you'll have access to the extension methods defined under the System.Net.Http namespace. These include the PostAsJsonAsync. Then it simply becomes a matter of passing in an object that represents the structure of the JSON you need to send.

public class RootObject
{
    public object code { get; set; }
    public string description { get; set; }
    public object address { get; set; }
    public string dateEvent { get; set; }
    public string type { get; set; }
}
