Hi,

I am using .net 4.0 and my requirements are,

1. Return a file stream from web - api and the deserialize the stream in GetResponse() method in MVC.
2. Upload a file from MVC - Here i have FileStream of the file.

I have searched for the above operations to be done in 4.0 framework but i can't get. HttpResponseMessage is the only solution for my requirements which is available only from 4.5 framework. Is there any solution to achieve this in 4.0 framework?

Well, you can go for nuget package.

from VS menubar: View -> Other Windows -> Package Manager Console
from Package Manager Console type in the command Install-Package WebApi.All
in .cs add "using System.Net.Http;"

Or check this[^] for the package to install.

And another solution would be WCF REST Service.
