Here my version of the implementation:

static void Main()
{
    var tinyUrl = MakeTinyUrl("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/366115/using-tinyurl-com-in-a-net-application-possible");

    Console.WriteLine(tinyUrl);

    Console.ReadLine();
}

public static string MakeTinyUrl(string url)
{
    string tinyUrl = url;
    string api = " the api's url goes here ";
    try
    {
        var request = WebRequest.Create(api + url);
        var res = request.GetResponse();
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            tinyUrl = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception exp)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(exp);
    }
    return tinyUrl;
}
