C# Read (not write!) string from System.Net.Http.StringContent

Question

I have what seems like it should be a simple question, but I can't find an answer to it anywhere. Given the following code:

    using System.Net.Http;     ...     StringContent sc = New StringContent("Hello!");     string myContent = ???; 

What do I need to replace the ??? with in order to read the string value from sc, so that myContent = "Hello!"?

.ToString just returns System.String, as does .ReadAsStringAsync. How do I read out what I've written in?

Answer 1

You can use ReadAsStringAsync() method, then get the result using await statement or Result property:

StringContent sc = new StringContent("Hello!");  string myContent = await sc.ReadAsStringAsync(); //or string myContent = sc.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
