        MyWebClient.OpenWriteCompleted += new OpenWriteCompletedEventHandler(MyWebClient_OpenWriteCompleted);
        MyWebClient.Headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; ICS)";
        MyWebClient.OpenWriteAsync(new Uri("http://myserver.com/login"), "POST", "email=myemail@server.com&pass=mypassword");

Answer 1

//Making a POST request using WebClient.


Function()
{    
  WebClient wc = new WebClient();

  var URI = new Uri("http://your_uri_goes_here");

//If any encoding is needed.

  wc.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

//Or any other encoding type.

//If any key needed

  wc.Headers["KEY"] = "Your_Key_Goes_Here";

 wc.UploadStringCompleted += new UploadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_UploadStringCompleted);

 wc.UploadStringAsync(URI,"POST","Data_To_Be_sent");    

}

void wc__UploadStringCompleted(object sender, UploadStringCompletedEventArgs e)

{  

  try            
  {          
     MessageBox.Show(e.Result); 

//e.result fetches you the response against your POST request.

 }

  catch(Exception exc)         
  {             
     MessageBox.Show(exc.ToString());            
  }

}

According to doc, contents are actually sent when you close the stream passed to you in the argument of OpenWriteCompleted event.

Since you don't close the stream properly, it doesn't send anything.
