How to get object using Httpclient with response Ok in Web Api

Question

    public async Task RegisterUser(User user)
    {
        //User Implementation here

        return Ok(user);

You can use (depands on what you need), and de-serialize it back to user object.

await result.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
//or
await result.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
//or
await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

Fe, if your web api is returning JSON, you could use

var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject( await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());

EDIT: as cordan pointed out, you can also add reference to System.Net.Http.Formatting and use:

await result.Content.ReadAsAsync()
