Retrieving data from a POST method in ASP.NET

Question

I am using ASP.NET.

There is a system that needs to POST data to my site and all they asked for is for me to provide them with a URL. So I gave them my URL http://ww

Answer 1

You need to examine (put a breakpoint on / Quick Watch) the Request object in the Page_Load method of your Test.aspx.cs file.

Answer 2

The data from the request (content, inputs, files, querystring values) is all on this object HttpContext.Current.Request
To read the posted content

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream);
string requestFromPost = reader.ReadToEnd();

To navigate through the all inputs

foreach (string key in HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.AllKeys)
{
   string value = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form[key];
}

Answer 3

You can get a form value posted to a page using code similiar to this (C#) -

string formValue;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form["txtFormValue"]))
{
  formValue= Request.Form["txtFormValue"];
}

or this (VB)

Dim formValue As String
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form("txtFormValue")) Then
    formValue = Request.Form("txtFormValue")
End If

Once you have the values you need you can then construct a SQL statement and and write the data to a database.
