There is a built in method called UploadValues that can send HTTP POST  or any kind of HTTP methods  AND handles the construction of request body  concatenating parameters with   amp   and escaping characters by url encoding  in proper form data format   using WebClient client   new WebClient          var reqparm   new System Collections Specialized NameValueCollection        reqparm Add  param1     lt any gt  kinds  amp  of     strings        reqparm Add  param2    escaping is already handled        byte   responsebytes   client UploadValues  http   localhost    POST   reqparm       string responsebody   Encoding UTF8 GetString responsebytes

Using simple client UploadString adress  content   normally works fine but I think it should be remembered that a WebException will be thrown if not a HTTP successful status code is returned  I usually handle it like this to print any exception message the remote server is returning   try       postResult   client UploadString address  content     catch  WebException ex        String responseFromServer   ex Message ToString              if  ex Response    null                using  WebResponse response   ex Response                        Stream dataRs   response GetResponseStream                using  StreamReader reader   new StreamReader dataRs                                 responseFromServer    reader ReadToEnd                     log Error  Server Response      responseFromServer                                     throw
