Remarks

Operation

As described above.

The System.Net.WebRequest class is abstract and does not provide an implementation for this method. This method throws NotSupportedException.

Note to Inheritors

This method is required to be overridden by classes that inherit from System.Net.WebRequest.

Usage

Use this method to initiate a request to send data to a resource and obtain a System.IO.Stream instance for sending data to that resource.

The WebRequest.GetRequestStream method provides synchronous access to the System.IO.Stream. For asynchronous access, use the WebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream(AsyncCallback, object) and WebRequest.EndGetRequestStream(IAsyncResult) methods.
