Any chance of a .net 4.0 post example as you've done with the get? Great set of tutorials can't wait to get using web-api in anger!

Very helpful article, thanks! However, a .Net 4.0 post example would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to infer the code from your get methods, but the code inside the ContinueWith is never hit, nor is my Web Api post method.

Hi Mike

Thanks for your articles, very clears and usefull.

I'm using PostAsJsonAsync and it's works very well, but I can't use PutAsJsonAsync:

await client.PutAsJsonAsync("service/users/" + SelUser.UserID.ToString(), SelUser);

doesn't work, I allways get 404-Not found message. I tried it in different ways, without success.

Can you help me, please?

I arrived here via the EF --> Get Started --> N-Tier page. It promised information about change tracking when disconnected from the context, such is the case in an N-Tier architecture.

I can't find any information at all!

Good job. Nice to have an article that is very basic and clean as opposed to over complexifying examples. Armed with the basics we programmers can commence to complexify at will.

Keep up the good work.

You say to search and select "Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client" and show a picture of it but then say to install the ASP.NET Web API Self Host package... which one is right?

Hi Mike.

Great set of articles on Web API.

I have a question about error handling on the client side.

What's the best way of extracting error details from a response message?

e.g. If my server raises a HttpResponseException with an inner exception (e.g. a SQL exception), how do I extract the Message and InnerException details etc on the client side? I have tried EnsureSuccessStatusCode but this only gives the StatusCode and ReasonPhrase.

Thanks.

Mike - there is a lot of good information here but it does not read like a tutorial. Starts well but then rapidly moves into confusion. It is not clear where any code goes and how it all fits together is a mystery. Again the information looks good but it is unclear how to use it.

When I use this method to call a webapi project in another webapi project.

It's become very strange.

The HttpClient is not calling the url I give to it.
