Examples
The following code example sets the ContentType property.
// Set the 'Method' property of the 'Webrequest' to 'POST'.
myHttpWebRequest->Method = "POST";
Console::WriteLine( "\nPlease enter the data to be posted to the (http://www.contoso.com/codesnippets/next.asp) Uri :" );
// Create a new String* Object* to POST data to the Url.
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();
// Set the 'Method' property of the 'Webrequest' to 'POST'.
myHttpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
Console.WriteLine ("\nPlease enter the data to be posted to the (http://www.contoso.com/codesnippets/next.asp) Uri :");
// Create a new string object to POST data to the Url.
string inputData = Console.ReadLine ();
string postData = "firstone=" + inputData;
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding ();
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 ();
' Set the 'Method' property of the 'Webrequest' to 'POST'.
myHttpWebRequest.Method = "POST"
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Please enter the data to be posted to the (http://www.contoso.com/codesnippets/next.asp) Uri :")
' Create a new string object to POST data to the Url.
Dim inputData As String = Console.ReadLine()
Dim postData As String = "firstone" + ChrW(61) + inputData
Dim encoding As New ASCIIEncoding()
Dim byte1 As Byte() = 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
Dim newStream As Stream = myHttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()
newStream.Write(byte1, 0, byte1.Length)
Console.WriteLine("The value of 'ContentLength' property after sending the data is {0}", myHttpWebRequest.ContentLength)
newStream.Close()
Remarks
The ContentType property contains the media type of the request. Values assigned to the ContentType property replace any existing contents when the request sends the Content-type
HTTP header.
To clear the Content-type
HTTP header, set the ContentType property to null
.
Note
The value for this property is stored in WebHeaderCollection . If WebHeaderCollection is set, the property value is lost.
