Trouble sending createrawtransaction to bitcoin-qt via json-rpc

1

I'm trying to post to a local bitcoin-qt via json-rpc but I'm getting error 500 from the server.

Following the documentation here

I tried this code but it's giving the error 500, it works fine with other methods like getblockcount or getnewaddress

 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim jArray As JContainer = New JArray()                  '

        Dim jToTx As New JObject
        jToTx.Add("Tbc1q5t4sexcufx9ecnepfd4v88j8fvq3q5ymzetmqt", "6.5")

        Dim jArray2 As JContainer = New JArray From {jToTx}

        Dim jFromTx As New JObject
        jFromTx.Add("txid", "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
        jFromTx.Add("vout", "0")

        jArray.Add(jFromTx)

        RichTextBox5.Text = RequestServer("createrawtransaction", New List(Of JToken) From {jArray, jArray2})

    End Sub

RequestServer Function:

 Public Shared Function RequestServer(ByVal methodName As String, ByVal parameters As List(Of JToken)) As JToken
        Dim ServerIp As String = "http://localhost:8332"
        Dim UserName As String = "hama"
        Dim Password As String = "hama"
        Dim webRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(webRequest.Create(ServerIp), HttpWebRequest)
        webRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(UserName, Password)

        webRequest.ContentType = "application/json-rpc"
        webRequest.Method = "POST"


        Dim respVal As String = String.Empty
        Dim joe As JObject = New JObject
        joe.Add(New JProperty("jsonrpc", 1))
        joe.Add(New JProperty("id", 1))
        joe.Add(New JProperty("method", methodName))
        Dim props As JArray = New JArray
        For Each parameter In parameters
            props.Add(parameter)
        Next
        joe.Add(New JProperty("params", props))
        ' serialize json for the request
        Dim s As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(joe)
        Dim byteArray() As Byte = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(s)
        webRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
        Dim dataStream As Stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream
        dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
        dataStream.Close()
        Dim streamReader As StreamReader = Nothing
        Try
            Dim webResponse As WebResponse = webRequest.GetResponse
            streamReader = New StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream, True)
            respVal = streamReader.ReadToEnd
            Dim data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(respVal).ToString
            Return data
        Catch exp As Exception
MsgBox(exp.ToString)

        Finally
            If (Not (streamReader) Is Nothing) Then
                streamReader.Close()
            End If

        End Try

        Return String.Empty


    End Function

My bitcoin.conf

server=1
rpcuser=hama
rpcpassword=hama
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332

The error code from catch block:

System.Net.WebException
