C# not sending POST data to PHP script

So I have a C# script which stores data to a database through my PHP script. My C# script uses WebClient to achieve this effect. But sadly my C# script doesn't send POST data to my PHP script and I don't know why. This is what I have so far:

C#

json = "{\"bedrijfsNaam\":\"" + bedrijfsNaam + "\"," +
       "\"ContPers\":\"" + ContPers + "\"," +
       "\"TelNum\":\"" + TelNum + "\"," +
       "\"email\":\"" + email + "\"," +
       "\"Land\":\"" + Land + "\"," +
       "\"Plaats\":\"" + Plaats + "\"," +
       "\"PostCode\":\"" + PostCode + "\"}";

var b64bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
b64encode = System.Convert.ToBase64String(b64bytes);

using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
    byte[] sendB64 = client.UploadData("http://" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["scripturi"].ToString() + "SalesKicker.php", "POST",
    System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("b64string=" + b64encode + "&filename=" + dt.bedrijfsNaam));
    MessageBox.Show(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(sendB64));
}

PHP

if($link ->connect_errno) 
{
    echo 'ERROR: no connection!';
}
else 
{
    if(isset($_POST['b64string']))
    {
        $jsonstring = base64_decode($_POST['b64string']);

        $obj = json_decode($jsonstring);

        $query_opslaan = "INSERT INTO SalesKicker (BedrijfsNaam, ContPers, TelNr, Email, Land, Plaats, POC) VALUES ('". $obj->bedrijfsNaam ."' , '". $obj->ContPers ."', '". $obj->TelNum ."', '". $obj->email ."', '". $obj->Land ."', '". $obj->Plaats ."', '". $obj->PostCode ."')";         

        mysqli_query($link, $query_opslaan) or die(mysqli_error($query_opslaan));
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'ERROR: no data!';
    }

}

The problem is is that my PHP script returns

"ERROR: no data!"

This should obviously not happen. What should happen is that the PHP gets the POST data and saves it to my Database. Can someone please tell me why this isn't working correctly?

I should use the following c# method except of my current one:

             var data = new NameValueCollection();
            data["b64string"] = b64encode;
            data["filename"] = dt.bedrijfsNaam;

            using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
            {
                var uploadData = client.UploadValues("http://" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["scripturi"].ToString() + "SalesKicker.php", "POST",
                data);
                response = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(uploadData);
            }

I should've been using the NameValueCollection instead of just a string.
