To take 6footunder s comment and turn it into an answer  HttpContent is abstract so you need to use one of the derived classes

While the final version of HttpContent and the entire System Net Http namespace will come with  NET 4 5  you can use a  NET 4 version by adding the Microsoft Net Http package from NuGet

I m pretty sure the code is not using the System Net Http HttpContent class  but instead Microsoft Http HttpContent  Microsoft Http was the WCF REST Starter Kit  which never made it out preview before being placed in the  NET Framework  You can still find it here  http   aspnet codeplex com releases view 24644  I would not recommend basing new code on it

Just use     var stringContent   new StringContent jObject ToString     var response   await httpClient PostAsync  http   www sample com write   stringContent     Or   var stringContent   new StringContent JsonConvert SerializeObject model   Encoding UTF8   application json    var response   await httpClient PostAsync  http   www sample com write   stringContent
