Xamarin Forms Post Request Http Issue

Question

I'm working on making a POST request using my Xamarin form to send data to an Action in my controller in my WebAPI project. The code with breakpoints doesn't go beyond

client.BaseAddress = new Uri("192.168.79.119:10000");

I have namespace System.Net.Http and using System mentioned in the code.

 private void BtnSubmitClicked(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        System.Threading.Tasks.Task<HttpResponseMessage> statCode = ResetPassword();
        App.Log(string.Format("Status Code", statCode));


    }
    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> ResetPassword()
    {
        ForgotPassword model = new ForgotPassword();
        model.Email = Email.Text;
        var client = new HttpClient();

        client.BaseAddress = new Uri("192.168.79.119:10000");

        var content = new StringContent(
           JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { Email = Email.Text }));

        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync("/api/api/Account/PasswordReset", content); //the Address is correct

        return response;
    }

Need a way to make a Post request to that Action and sending that String or the Model.Email as a parameter.

are you sure it's not throwing an exception? Try adding a scheme ("http://") to the URI string — Jason

You need to use a proper Uri and also await the Task being returned from the called method.

private async void BtnSubmitClicked(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs) {
    HttpResponseMessage response = await ResetPasswordAsync();
    App.Log(string.Format("Status Code: {0}", response.StatusCode));
}

public Task<HttpResponseMessage> ResetPasswordAsync() {
    var model = new ForgotPassword() {
        Email = Email.Text
    };
    var client = new HttpClient();
    client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://192.168.79.119:10000");
    var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model);
    var content = new StringContent(json, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
    var path = "api/api/Account/PasswordReset";
    return client.PostAsync(path, content); //the Address is correct
}
