Solution 1

:
Solution 2
I had the same problem. After some digging around, i found you had to install this package and then add the reference to System.Net.Http
for it to not complain!
Solution 3
Start using vs2017, and encounter same problem, when creating Native + PCL, couldn't find the HttpClient, going to Nuget and get Microsoft.Net.Http solve my problems.
Solution 4
I encountered the issue when I added a class inside the App_Code
folder having this HttpClient
called in one of my function. Upon spending countless hours I found that the Build Action
under Properties
for my class is set to Content
.
Changing this Build Action
to Compile
fixed the problem.

I am trying to use the new
HttpClient
in .NET 4.5, but Visual Studio complains that it doesn't exist. I haveSystem.Net
, but when I typeSystem.Net.Http
, it complains for that too.Am I supposed to download a new distributable for this class?
