i\'m working on an c# project that send a xml to a server and receives a xml as response.
With .Net Framework 4.0 installed that works fine.
With .Net Framework 4.5

Answer 1

Strange there wasn't a serious answer posted already...

HttpWebRequest has been made obsolete in .NET 4.5 and later versions so it will not compile which is noted on the msdn site

This is why Jammer is saying to use HttpClient as a replacement since it seems to be the replacement microsoft has made for it.

Looks like it will be an effort to change your code but I'd say it's all for the best

Answer 2

As previously mentioned, HttpWebRequest is obsolete now. Have you tried HttpRequest? Found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest(v=vs.110).aspx

Answer 3

I had the same strange problem in IdnEquivalent. The problem persisted when I had Fiddler web debugger launched during my debug session. After I shut it down the problem disappeared.

Answer 4

To be honest as you are now targeting .NET 4.5 I would have a look into using HttpClient instead of HttpWebRequest.

HttpClient
