How to use call http from c#

Question

I am trying to send an sms from my website.

Below is the HTTP api which works perfectly.It sends the msg and returns the string

http://sms.mywebsite.com/api/sendmsg.php?user=MYID&pass=MYPASS&sender=SENDERID&phone=1234567980&text=Test Message&priority=ndnd&stype=normal

But i want to use it in C#.Accept mobile number from TextBox1 and Message from TextBox2

 WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://sms.mywebsite.com/api/sendmsg.php?user=MYID&pass=MYPASS&sender=SENDERID&phone=" + TextBox1.Text + "&text=" + TextBox2.Text+ "&priority=ndnd&stype=normal")

The first statement is executing if i paste the http code directly in the website and i recieve the smsin my mobile .But the WebRequest statement dosent send the sms

 TextBox1.Text=123456789;//some mobile number

 TextBox2.Text="Thankyou for registering @ MyWEBSITE. A verification email has been sent to Your email";

Which quotes do you mean? Please clarify your question and supply more code! — earloc

You seem to be only creating a web request object and not executing it.

var response = webRequest.GetResponse();

Refer to the documentation @ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bw00b1dc(v=vs.110).aspx
I would also recommend you use a HttpClient instead.

You should use Server.UrlEncode. Probably, you have some spaces and special characters in the text message.

WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(Server.UrlEncode("http://sms.mywebsite.com/api/sendmsg.php?user=MYID&pass=MYPASS&sender=SENDERID&phone=" + TextBox1.Text + "&text=" + TextBox2.Text+ "&priority=ndnd&stype=normal"))
