Using VS Express 2010 HttpClient ?

Posted 01 September 2012 - 02:44 PM

I am using VS 2010 Express and noticed that I cannot use:

using System.Net.Http;


Is there another namespace I can use to get Http capability?

Thanks...

Take a look at the MSDN for that namespace:
http://msdn.microsof...m.net.http.aspx

You'll notice it is for .NET 4.5
You need to be running Visual Studio 2012 for that.

If you just want to embed a webbrowser on your form you can drag-n-drop one from the Toolbox.

I don't need a web browser, I just want to grab a text file on my server and read in it's data. I thought I'd use Http for that but maybe now I'll have to do it another way???

I can't access his link at work, so I don't know if this was suggested, but you can just use WebClient. That's actually what HttpClient is superceeding in .NET 4.5.
