bool success;

//  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.

//  This example simulates this FORM:
//  <form action="processPost.asp" method="post">
//  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
//  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
//  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
//  </form>
//  The online FORM is found at this URL:
//  http://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

//  Build an HTTP POST Request:
req.UsePost();

//  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
//  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
//  is to call SetFromUrl:
req.SetFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp");

//  The only remaining task is to add the params to the
//  HTTP request object:
req.AddParam("firstName","Matt");
req.AddParam("lastName","Jones");

//  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
//  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 80
//  (the default HTTP port), and not using SSL.
string domain;
int port;
bool ssl;
domain = "chilkatsoft.com";
port = 80;
ssl = false;

//  The HTTP POST is sent here:
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = null;
resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,req);
if (resp == null ) {
    textBox1.Text += http.LastErrorText + "\r\n";
}
else {
    //  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
    textBox1.Text += resp.BodyStr + "\r\n";
