Calling WebAPI from Windows Store App

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but can anyone give me an example of calling a web API GET action that returns a simple JSON encoded object.

I have seen examples in console apps or windows desktop apps where they call HttpClient.GetAsync() to obtain a HttpResponse object. They access the Content property of the response and use an extension method to call ReadAsAsync<T>(), where T is a client side representation of the JSON serialised server object.

It seems that Windows Store apps do not have the extention methods on HttpContent.

So, now I don't know how to convert my response string (JSON) in to my client side model.

Thanks for your help.
