What does this err, means: "error CS0103: The name `HttpClientFactory' does not exist in the current context" ??

As I can google, HttpClientFactory is a part of namespace System.Net.Http which is included. Almost all of libmono- are installed on my system.

Edit: Moreover, I've installed Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 14.0.23107.0 D14REL, latest version and errors are the same.

Edit2: Probably, I've found the solution. It is Visual Studio 2013, not 2015. I do not know which mono shall it be, probably kind of downgrade would help to build HttpClientFactory...

Answer 1

Downgrade the Nuget package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client to v5.2.2. It's worked for me.
