Hello All, I need to post / redirect to a 3rd party URL with the form
variables dynamically created. Can anyone give me any pointers?

TIA

Hello MikeB,

how the 3rd party contol will get these values?
u can send your variables via session, via URL params.

I am posting to pay pal using pay pal standard and so for, all that I have
found is it takes form variables. I am not sure if I can place them in the
url or not.

the client needs to do the post, you just render a form following their
specs, and set the target.

Seee System.Net.Webclient. It allos to send http requests to server (from
the top of my head , the UploadDate method should do what you are looking
for. You have just to add key/values pairs to a collection and then upload
those data).

Here's an example

string
stringPost="cmd=_xclick&[email protected]&item_name=Item
+Name&item_number=Item
+Number&amount=100.00&no_shipping=2&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&bn=IC_Sample"

HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/
webscr");
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.ContentLength = stringPost.Length;
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
StreamWriter streamWriter = null;
streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream());
streamWriter.Write(stringPost);
streamWriter.Close();
HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse =
(HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader streamReader = new
StreamReader(httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
stringResult = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
}
