Try this  you can create an extension method like this       public static string ContentToString this HttpContent httpContent                var readAsStringAsync   httpContent ReadAsStringAsync            return readAsStringAsync Result          and then  simple call the extension method   txtBlock Text   response Content ContentToString      I hope this help you  -

I think the easiest approach is just to change the last line to  txtBlock Text   await response Content ReadAsStringAsync      right    This way you don t need to introduce any stream readers and you don t need any extension methods

You need to call GetResponse     Stream receiveStream   response GetResponseStream     StreamReader readStream   new StreamReader  receiveStream  Encoding UTF8   txtBlock Text   readStream ReadToEnd

If you want to cast it to specific type  e g  within tests  you can use ReadAsAsync extension method   object yourTypeInstance   await response Content ReadAsAsync typeof YourType      or following for synchronous code   object yourTypeInstance   response Content ReadAsAsync typeof YourType   Result    Update  there is also generic option of ReadAsAsync lt   which returns specific type instance instead of object-declared one   YourType yourTypeInstance   await response Content ReadAsAsync lt YourType gt

You can use the GetStringAsync method   var uri   new Uri  http   yoururlhere    var response   await client GetStringAsync uri

By the answer of rudivonstaden txtBlock Text   await response Content ReadAsStringAsync     but if you don t want to make the method async you can use txtBlock Text   response Content ReadAsStringAsync    txtBlock Text Wait     Wait   it s important  bec use we are doing async operations and we must wait for the task to complete before going ahead
