httprequest

I'm trying to send an image to a server, using HTTP Post Multipart. Everything else is fine, I have all the boundrys set and stuff.

But what do I have to do to the image before hand? Do I have to convert it to binary? Here is the header data from the header (using Fiddler). This is what I need to upload:

-----------------------------7daea2aa40c80
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="pict"; filename="pic.jpeg"
Content-Type: image/pjpeg

<Binary here ... or at least I think it is> ..
?????JFIF?????????C? (lots more of this I removed)

Any advice?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
