如何使用C＃Windows Phone 7 WebClient发送和接收二进制数据？

Question

Speaking as concisely as possible: What is involved in sending and receiving binary data via the WebClient class in Windows Phone 7, using HTTP POST? Is WebClient the correct class to use?

Currently, I am trying to call OpenReadAsync() inside an OpenWriteCompleted event handler after writing the request binary data. The request data is being written on an asynchronous result to OpenWriteAsync(). I am doing this for the purpose of sending and receiving Protocol Buffer data encoded using ProtoBuf-Net, to a http URI.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick

Answer 1

You have to implement POST (FILES) yourself.

But check out this:

(simple POST, GZIP, etc.)

Answer 2

WebClient appears to be the wrong class to use. I am now using HttpWebRequest with great results.
