I've always wondered how to correctly use the "UploadString" method in C#.. I'm working a bit on PHP programming, but so far I'm quite the noob of it. I assume you'd use PHP as the URi. Or wait, maybe UploadString isn't the right one to just upload a string.

Like for instance, creating a chat room - you would need alot of those.

Any feedback on how to use this method would be very appreciated.

what is it that you want to do? UploadString does a simple post (by default; other verbs are possible) with the string content as the payload body. What do you expect it to do? – Marc Gravell♦ 10 hours ago
I expect it to send a string to a URI – Johan Svensson 10 hours ago

which is what it does - so I'm unclear what usage question you are asking. – Marc Gravell♦ 10 hours ago
I know, and I'd assume that. But what kind of adress would you send it to? – Johan Svensson 6 hours ago
any URL designed to accept that message. There aren't very many rules on what a web-server can and can't do. The URL could be /foo, /foo.aspx, /foo.htm, or /flibble-mc.diddle - the WebClient doesn't care. The real question, perhaps, is what are you trying to do? Many POST routes are designed to accept form data, not a raw post body. But a raw post body is a very useful tool for APIs. – Marc Gravell♦ 6 hours ago
