"Some errors"? Are you sure you are at right forum?

Sorry Sergey I would not usually do a post like this but I am pressed for time and need assistance.

Nothing to sorry about. If you under pressure and spend time on something useless, it can be even worse. Why not spending time and explaining your problem properly?

Check the syntax of post method. Refer to the solution provided.

You need to show each error next to the appropriate lime.
The errors are way to simple. You just need to sit down and understand them, one by one.
In some places, you did not write return type — write it; check all punctuation. VS shows everything...

Solution 1

if you need to test your post method, do it in Main() method as below and also method call sysntax is

C#

MethodName(param1, param2);

you have missed last ) and ;

C#

static void Main() 
{
         Post("http://www.gvi.bms.vine.co.za/httpInputhandler/ApplinkUpload", 
           new NameValueCollection()
             {
                  { "xml", yourXml }
            });
    
}
