Yes! thanks.. this is the right code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Web
Dim user As String = Convert.ToBase64String
(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username & ":" & pass))
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes
("status=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(status) & "&source=metaki")
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create
("http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";), HttpWebRequest)
request.Method = "POST"
request.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = False
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " & user)
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded;charset=utf-8"
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length
Dim reqStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
reqStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
reqStream.Close()
Thanks!
