You should go to the PayPal website and study their documentation. It is likely that their SDK is designed only to work through their website, so your Desktop app would need to use some HTTP classes to access it.

Why do you have two separate forms? You submit them both but why do you expect the value from one form to be transferred to another or even get through at all? Having the same name doesn't do it: they're two separate instances. Ways to make it work: Put everything in one form so all data...

It means that it cannot find that url. Why? You'll have to troubleshoot to know for sure. Perhaps you have a firewall blocking it. Perhaps you have the url wrong. Maybe your network is blocking it. There is no way for us to know. When I try to access that url in the browser I get a Page...
