You might say I’m a bit of a fan of the REST architectural style. Let me provide a little background to clarify why REST is important to me, so you can better understand my underlying objectives. If we have similar objective then maybe this series of posts will be of interest to you. I write […]
I get frustrated sometime trying to play around with new Microsoft technologies. The process usually involves; install this CTP, apply this hotfix, create a project using this template, and this item using another template. By then end I may have something working but I don’t know what magic happened behind the scenes. Here is a […]
Here is some code I wrote to give me some experience playing with an OData service, learning more Linq, using my favourite HTTP client library and getting to download mix videos. It will download only the videos related to the tag name that you specify and currently it is set to download the low quality […]

Handling returned content When you do make an http request with this library, the body of the response is wrapped inside an HttpContent object. So, when […]
Before I go into any details I thought it would be valuable to give some basic examples of how to use the HTTPClient. Retrieve some HTTP content from an URL Post some content to an Url Authenticated get and if you need to provide some kind of custom authentication scheme you can simply create credential […]
In various forums I a finding myself raving about this new library. I decided that I should write some blog posts on the subject for a few reasons. 1) to convince myself that there is actually some substance to my raving; 2) provide a place to point people to in order to substantiate my infatuation […]
