Answer 1

The accepted answer is technically correct but blocks the current thread on calls to .Result. If you are using .NET 4.5 or higher, you should avoid that in almost all situations. Instead, use the equivalent asynchronous (non-blocking) version:

var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var response = await httpClient.PostAsJsonAsync(posturi, model);
bool returnValue = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync();

Note that the method containing the above code needs to be marked async, and should itself be awaited.
