Posting a file to a web server from a winform, just like a File Input HttpControl

Hi,

I am currently writing a WinForm administration application for a web
application I have. I was wondering how it would be possible to upload
a file to the web server using http, just like I would on a webform
using a HtmlInputFile control.

I have a hunch that it would be possible, but I cant really figure out
how.

Does anyone have a clue as to how I would accomplish this?

Hi,
Try the Webclient class in the System.Net namespace

Hi Thomas,

If you have an asp page (containing an input element of type "file") to
handle the upload then I believe it is possible. A Google search came up
with the following:
http://groups.google.dk/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp/browse_frm/thread/eea92e16a26fbdc0/474b6a3fcd63dd93?lnk=st&q=uploading%2Bfile%2Bhttpwebrequest&rnum=4&hl=da#474b6a3fcd63dd93

I have not tried it myself but it looks promising.

HTH, Jakob.

You need a web service on the server, your application must be able to
communicate with it.
