Getting content/message from HttpResponseMessage

Question

I\'m trying to get content of HttpResponseMessage. It should be: {\"message\":\"Action \'\' does not exist!\",\"success\":false}, but I don\'t know, how to get

Answer 1

If you want to cast it to specific type (e.g. within tests) you can use ReadAsAsync extension method:

object yourTypeInstance = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync(typeof(YourType));

or following for synchronous code:

object yourTypeInstance = response.Content.ReadAsAsync(typeof(YourType)).Result;

Update: there is also generic option of ReadAsAsync<> which returns specific type instance instead of object-declared one:

YourType yourTypeInstance = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync();
