C#

byte[] byteData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("{ "name": "searitem" }");

This isn't working because you did not properly handle the quotes inside the string; the quote at "name is actually causing the string to close.

If you want to put quotes in strings, you have to escape them, by typing \":

C#

byte[] byteData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("{ \"name\": \"searitem\" }");
