The HttpContent type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | CopyToAsync(Stream) | Serialize the HTTP content into a stream of bytes and copies it to the stream object provided as the stream parameter. |
| CopyToAsync(Stream, TransportContext) | Serialize the HTTP content into a stream of bytes and copies it to the stream object provided as the stream parameter. |
 | CreateContentReadStreamAsync | Serialize the HTTP content to a memory stream as an asynchronous operation. |
| Dispose() | Releases the unmanaged resources and disposes of the managed resources used by the HttpContent. |
| Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the HttpContent and optionally disposes of the managed resources. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| LoadIntoBufferAsync() | Serialize the HTTP content to a memory buffer as an asynchronous operation. |
| LoadIntoBufferAsync(Int64) | Serialize the HTTP content to a memory buffer as an asynchronous operation. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ReadAsByteArrayAsync | Serialize the HTTP content to a byte array as an asynchronous operation. |
| ReadAsStreamAsync | Serialize the HTTP content and return a stream that represents the content as an asynchronous operation. |
| ReadAsStringAsync | Serialize the HTTP content to a string as an asynchronous operation. |
| SerializeToStreamAsync | Serialize the HTTP content to a stream as an asynchronous operation. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| TryComputeLength | Determines whether the HTTP content has a valid length in bytes. |
