using (HttpResponseMessage response = m_RestHttpClient.Get("getcustomerschema/userCode=admin/password=admin"))

   //how can I get the xml resuly from the httpResponseMessage?

Answer 1

DataSet dst = new DataSet();
dst.ReadXml(response.Content.ReadAsStream(), XmlReadMode.ReadSchema);

This is how I convert a HttpResponse to a data set then if I need the XML i just extract this from the data set

Hopefully this helps other REST developers
