.NET HttpClient. How to POST string value?
asp.net-web-api, c#, dotnet-httpclient
Solution
In ASP.NET 4.5 (for 4.0, you need to install the `Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client` NuGet package):
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Task.Run(() => MainAsync());
Console.ReadLine();
}
static async Task MainAsync()
{
var client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:6740");
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("", "login")
});
var result = await client.PostAsync("/api/Membership/exists", content);
string resultContent = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(resultContent);
}
}
Problem
How can I create using C# and HttpClient the following POST request: I need such a request for my WEB API service: ``` [ActionName("exist")] [HttpPost] public bool CheckIfUserExist([FromBody] string login) { return _membershipProvider.CheckIfExist(login); } ```
