I have the following method in a controller in an MVC website:
[WebGet]
public void SaveInfo()
{
string make = Request.QueryString["Make"];
string model = Request.QueryString["Model"];
// Do stuff....
}
It works fine when I type the URL in the address bar, but what I need to do is call this from a Windows client. How do I do this in C#?
Thanks!
Use the WebClient
class to make an HTTP request from the client. You'll need to add a reference to System.Web if your client project doesn't already have one.
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
static void SaveInfo(string make, string model)
{
using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
{
string response = webClient.DownloadString(
String.Format(
"http://yoursite/ControllerName/SaveInfo?make={0}&model={1}",
HttpUtility.UrlEncode(make),
HttpUtility.UrlEncode(model)
)
);
}
}
