string postData = "<TemplateInfo xmlns:i='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>" + "<UserID>254</UserID>" + "</TemplateInfo>";

C#

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);

           //create an HTTP request to the URL that we need to invoke

           HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://172.19.18.126/TAExcelApps/TemplateService/GetTemplatesInfos");

           request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
           request.ContentType = "application/xml"; //set the content type to XML
           request.Method = "POST"; //make an HTTP POST

           using (Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream())
           {

               //initiate the request
               dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
           }

           // Get the response.

           using (HttpWebResponse httpResponse = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
           {
               Stream ResponseStream = null;
               ResponseStream = httpResponse.GetResponseStream();
               int responseCode = (int)httpResponse.StatusCode;
               string responseBody = ((new StreamReader(ResponseStream)).ReadToEnd());
               Console.WriteLine(responseBody.ToString());
           }

           Console.ReadLine();
