I am trying to get POST data, but I'm having no luck. My code is below. When I click the form button nothing happens.
I expected at least my IDE to snap at A.Ret(), but nothing happens whatsoever.
using System.Web;
public class A
{
public static string ret() {
var c = HttpContext.Current;
var v = c.Request.QueryString; // <-- I can see get data in this
return c.Request.UserAgent.ToString();
return c.Request.UserHostAddress.ToString();
return "woot";
}
}

Try using:
string ap = c.Request["AP"];
That reads from the cookies, form, query string or server variables.
Alternatively:
string ap = c.Request.Form["AP"];
to just read from the form's data.
c.Request["AP"] will read posted values. Also you need to use a submit button to post the form:
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
instead of
<input type=button value="Submit" />
I'm a little surprised that this question has been asked so many times before, but the most reuseable and friendly solution hasn't been documented.
I often have webpages using AngularJS, and when I click on a Save button, I'll "POST" this data back to my .aspx page or .ashx handler to save this back to the database. The data will be in the form of a JSON record.
On the server, to turn the raw posted data back into a C# class, here's what I would do.
First, define a C# class which will contain the posted data.
Supposing my webpage is posting JSON data like this:
{
"UserID" : 1,
"FirstName" : "Mike",
"LastName" : "Mike",
"Address1" : "10 Really Street",
"Address2" : "London"
}
Then I'd define a C# class like this...
public class JSONRequest
{
public int UserID { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Address1 { get; set; }
public string Address2 { get; set; }
}
(These classes can be nested, but the structure must match the format of the JSON data. So, if you're posting a JSON User record, with a list of Order records within it, your C# class should also contain a List<> of Order records.)
Now, in my .aspx.cs or .ashx file, I just need to do this, and leave JSON.Net to do the hard work...
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string jsonString = "";
HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
using (StreamReader inputStream = new StreamReader(this.Request.InputStream))
{
jsonString = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
}
JSONRequest oneQuestion = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JSONRequest>(jsonString);
And that's it. You now have a JSONRequest class containing the various fields which were POSTed to your server.
The following is OK in HTML4, but not in XHTML. Check your editor.
<input type=button value="Submit" />
