Answer 1

so... what errors are you getting?

Answer 2

We are here to help you but you need to be more factual and provide details of your situation in a more logical way.

Just guessing here, but typically web service calls are asynchronous and you need a callback function.  You cannot simply read the response from the same method that you issued the request from.  Also, WebClient is easier to use.  Here is an example:
