It works more or less like this  example using an image jpg file    async public Task lt HttpResponseMessage gt  UploadImage string url  byte   ImageData        var requestContent   new MultipartFormDataContent               here you can specify boundary if you need---      var imageContent   new ByteArrayContent ImageData       imageContent Headers ContentType            MediaTypeHeaderValue Parse  image jpeg         requestContent Add imageContent   image    image jpg         return await client PostAsync url  requestContent        You can requestContent Add   whatever you want  take a look at the HttpContent descendant to see available types to pass in   When completed  you ll find the response content inside HttpResponseMessage Content that you can consume with HttpContent ReadAs Async

I m adding a code snippet which shows on how to post a file to an API which has been exposed over DELETE http verb  This is not a common case to upload a file with DELETE http verb but it is allowed  I ve assumed Windows NTLM authentication for authorizing the call   The problem that one might face is that all the overloads of HttpClient DeleteAsync method have no parameters for HttpContent the way we get it in PostAsync method  var requestUri   new Uri  http   UrlOfTheApi    using  var streamToPost   new MemoryStream  C  temp txt    using  var fileStreamContent   new StreamContent streamToPost   using  var httpClientHandler   new HttpClientHandler     UseDefaultCredentials   true    using  var httpClient   new HttpClient httpClientHandler  true   using  var requestMessage   new HttpRequestMessage HttpMethod Delete  requestUri   using  var formDataContent   new MultipartFormDataContent          formDataContent Add fileStreamContent   myFile    temp txt        requestMessage Content   formDataContent      var response   httpClient SendAsync requestMessage  GetAwaiter   GetResult         if  response IsSuccessStatusCode                   File upload was successfull           else               var erroResult   response Content ReadAsStringAsync   GetAwaiter   GetResult            throw new Exception  Error on the server       erroResult             You need below namespaces at the top of your C  file   using System  using System Net  using System IO  using System Net Http    P S  Sorry about so many using blocks IDisposable pattern  in my code  Unfortunately  the syntax of using construct of C  doesn t support initializing multiple variables in single statement
