string uri = "http://localhost/WebForm1.aspx";

HttpWebRequest myrequest
(HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Cre ate(uri);
myrequest.SendC hunked = true;
myrequest.UserA gent = "My agent";

myrequest.Metho d = "POST";
myrequest.Conte ntType = "multipart/form-data";

myrequest.Allow WriteStreamBuff ering = false;

// Create a filestream
FileStream fs = new FileStream(file name, FileMode.Open
FileAccess.Read , FileShare.None) ;

_currentbar.Val ue = 0;
_currentbar.Min imum = 0;
_currentbar.Max imum = Convert.ToInt32 (fs.Length);

try
{
Stream datastream = myrequest.GetRe questStream();
byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];
WriteToLog("Upl oading file " + filename + " ( "
fileobj.formatS ize(fs.Length) + " )", false);
currentFile.Tex t = Path.GetFileNam e(filename);
int i = fs.Read(bytes,0 ,bytes.Length);
while(i > 0)
{

datastream.Writ e(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
updateProgressB ar(i);
i = fs.Read(bytes,0 ,bytes.Length);

}
fs.Close();
datastream.Clos e();
try
{
HttpWebResponse response
(HttpWebRespons e)myrequest.Get Response();

You're not really sending a multipart/form-data request (see
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2388.html). You simply dump the file to the
request stream (a "straight POST") -- in that case, set the
content-type according to the file's content.

Note that both options work, but the serverside certainly only expects
one or the other.
