AS you see the view state is quite large , but there is no proxey and it
work fine on te actual application witout simulating the request via
httpwebrequest.
Here you are some code :
HttpWebRequest objHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create (
_strUrl );
objHttpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
objHttpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
objHttpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Cache-Control","no-cache");
if (_objCookieCollection["ASP.NET_SessionId"]!=null)
objHttpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Cookie",_objCookieC ollection["ASP.NET_SessionId"].Value);
objHttpWebRequest.UserAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT
5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ( );
int intNumKeys = _arrayListFormFields.Count;
int i = 0;
foreach ( FormField__ objFormField in _arrayListFormFields )
{
string strKeyName = objFormField.Key;
string strKeyValue = objFormField.Value;
string test="";
sb.Append ( strKeyName );
sb.Append ( "=" );
sb.Append (strKeyValue );
if ( i<intNumKeys-1 )
{
sb.Append ( "&" );
}
i++;
}
CookieContainer objCon= new CookieContainer();
if (_objCookieCollection!=null)
objCon.Add(_objCookieCollection);
objHttpWebRequest.CookieContainer=objCon;
string strPostData = sb.ToString ( );
ASCIIEncoding asciiEncoding = new ASCIIEncoding ( );
byte[] byteArrayPostData = asciiEncoding.GetBytes ( strPostData );
objHttpWebRequest.ContentLength = strPostData.Length;
Stream objRequestStream = objHttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream ( );
objRequestStream.Write( byteArrayPostData, 0, byteArrayPostData.Length );
objRequestStream.Close();
HttpWebResponse objWebResponse = null;
objWebResponse =(HttpWebResponse) objHttpWebRequest.GetResponse ( ); // The
error occurs here!!!!
Well I know that the problem is something is messing up the viewstate, but
what?
Any one has an answer?
