这是可以肯定工作的示例代码。我花了一天的时间来从REST服务中读取一组对象:

RootObject是我从REST服务中读取的对象类型。

string url = @"http://restcountries.eu/rest/v1";
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(IEnumerable<RootObject>));
WebClient syncClient = new WebClient();
string content = syncClient.DownloadString(url);

using (MemoryStream memo = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(content)))
{
    IEnumerable<RootObject> countries = (IEnumerable<RootObject>)serializer.ReadObject(memo);
}

Console.Read();

我的建议是使用RestSharp。您可以调用REST服务，并将它们转换为POCO对象，只需要很少的样板代码就可以解析响应。这不会解决您的特定错误，但它回答了如何调用REST服务的总体问题。必须更改代码才能使用它，这应该会在易用性和健壮性方面得到回报。不过这只是我的个人观点。

在使用。net 4.5或。net Core时调用REST API

我推荐DalSoft。RestClient(注意:是我创建的)。原因是，因为它使用动态类型，您可以在一个流畅的调用中包装所有内容，包括序列化/反序列化。下面是一个工作的PUT示例:

dynamic client = new RestClient("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com");

var post = new Post { title = "foo", body = "bar", userId = 10 };

var result = await client.Posts(1).Put(post);

由于您使用的是Visual Studio 11 Beta，您将希望使用最新的和最好的。新的Web API包含了这方面的类。

参见HttpClient: http://wcf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WCF%20HTTP

查看Refit从. net调用REST服务。我发现它很容易使用:

改装:自动类型安全的REST库。net Core, Xamarin和 net Refit是一个很大程度上受到Square的Retrofit库启发的库 它把你的REST API变成一个活动接口:

public interface IGitHubApi {
        [Get("/users/{user}")]
        Task<User> GetUser(string user);
}

// The RestService class generates an implementation of IGitHubApi
// that uses HttpClient to make its calls:

var gitHubApi = RestService.For<IGitHubApi>("https://api.github.com");

var octocat = await gitHubApi.GetUser("octocat");

    var TakingRequset = WebRequest.Create("http://xxx.acv.com/MethodName/Get");
    TakingRequset.Method = "POST";
    TakingRequset.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=utf-8";
    TakingRequset.PreAuthenticate = true;

    //---Serving Request path query
     var PAQ = TakingRequset.RequestUri.PathAndQuery;

    //---creating your xml as per the host reqirement
    string xmlroot=@"<root><childnodes>passing parameters</childnodes></root>";
    string xmlroot2=@"<root><childnodes>passing parameters</childnodes></root>";

    //---Adding Headers as requested by host 
    xmlroot2 = (xmlroot2 + "XXX---");
    //---Adding Headers Value as requested by host 
  //  var RequestheaderVales = Method(xmlroot2);

    WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("XXXXX-----llll", 8080);
    proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("XXX---uuuu", "XXX----", "XXXX----");
    System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = proxy;


    // Adding The Request into Headers
    TakingRequset.Headers.Add("xxx", "Any Request Variable ");
    TakingRequset.Headers.Add("xxx", "Any Request Variable");

    byte[] byteData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xmlroot);
    TakingRequset.ContentLength = byteData.Length;

    using (Stream postStream = TakingRequset.GetRequestStream())
    {
        postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length);
        postStream.Close();
    }



    StreamReader stredr = new StreamReader(TakingRequset.GetResponse().GetResponseStream());
    string response = stredr.ReadToEnd();
