System.Net.Http: missing from namespace? (using .net 4.5)

Question

TL; DR: I\'m new to this language and have no idea what I\'m doing

here is my class so far:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Sys         


        

Answer 1

HttpClient lives in the System.Net.Http namespace.

You'll need to add:

using System.Net.Http;

And make sure you are referencing System.Net.Http.dll in .NET 4.5.
