What is the best way to compose a rest PUT request in C#?
The request has to also send an object not present in the URI.

using(var client = new System.Net.WebClient()) {
client.UploadData(address,"PUT",data);
}
My Final Approach:
public void PutObject(string postUrl, object payload)
{
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(postUrl);
request.Method = "PUT";
request.ContentType = "application/xml";
if (payload !=null)
{
request.ContentLength = Size(payload);
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
Serialize(dataStream,payload);
dataStream.Close();
}
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
string returnString = response.StatusCode.ToString();
}
public void Serialize(Stream output, object input)
{
var ser = new DataContractSerializer(input.GetType());
ser.WriteObject(output, input);
}
protected void UpdateButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var values = string.Format("Name={0}&Family={1}&Id={2}", NameToUpdateTextBox.Text, FamilyToUpdateTextBox.Text, IdToUpdateTextBox.Text);
var bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(values);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(string.Format("http://localhost:51436/api/employees"));
request.Method = "PUT";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
using (var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
var response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
UpdateResponseLabel.Text = "Update completed";
else
UpdateResponseLabel.Text = "Error in update";
}
How to use PUT method using WebRequest.
//JsonResultModel class
public class JsonResultModel
{
public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }
public bool IsSuccess { get; set; }
public string Results { get; set; }
}
// HTTP_PUT Function
public static JsonResultModel HTTP_PUT(string Url, string Data)
{
JsonResultModel model = new JsonResultModel();
string Out = String.Empty;
string Error = String.Empty;
System.Net.WebRequest req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(Url);
try
{
req.Method = "PUT";
req.Timeout = 100000;
req.ContentType = "application/json";
byte[] sentData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Data);
req.ContentLength = sentData.Length;
using (System.IO.Stream sendStream = req.GetRequestStream())
{
sendStream.Write(sentData, 0, sentData.Length);
sendStream.Close();
}
System.Net.WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();
System.IO.Stream ReceiveStream = res.GetResponseStream();
using (System.IO.StreamReader sr = new
System.IO.StreamReader(ReceiveStream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
Char[] read = new Char[256];
int count = sr.Read(read, 0, 256);
while (count > 0)
{
String str = new String(read, 0, count);
Out += str;
count = sr.Read(read, 0, 256);
}
}
}
catch (ArgumentException ex)
{
Error = string.Format("HTTP_ERROR :: The second HttpWebRequest object has raised an Argument Exception as 'Connection' Property is set to 'Close' :: {0}", ex.Message);
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
Error = string.Format("HTTP_ERROR :: WebException raised! :: {0}", ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Error = string.Format("HTTP_ERROR :: Exception raised! :: {0}", ex.Message);
}
model.Results = Out;
model.ErrorMessage = Error;
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Out))
{
model.IsSuccess = true;
}
return model;
}
