Extract contents from HttpResponseMessage

Question

I'm recieving an object of type System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage<List<T>>, how do I get the List<T>?

I tried casting the content property and getting a value from the content property via its value property but nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the help!

You can use the .ReadAsAsync<List<T>> method of the Content property.

Please also read my sample from this answer.

Update: These extension methods are located in the System.Net.Http.Formatting namespace inside the NuGet Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client.

Just a note that you need to add a reference to `System.Net.Http.Formatting` – Mo Valipour Jul 05 '13 at 11:20
