How to get data from API in metro app

Question

I am retrieving some values into a combobox from API.

class grades
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public string grade { get; set; }

    }

    class gradeHelper
    {
        public List<grades> result { get; set; }
    }

This is the way I get the data and pass it to the list.

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
            var content = await httpClient.GetStringAsync(new Uri(baseAddress));

            gradeHelper result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<gradeHelper>(content);

            foreach (var item in result.result)
            {                

                cmbGrade.Items.Add(result);                

            }

The value that gets filed in my combobox is the path which is the solution name.folder name.class name

"ted.datamodel.gradehelper"

I think you did the things wrongly, what my view is

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
var content = await httpClient.GetStringAsync(new Uri(baseAddress));

gradeHelper data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<gradeHelper>(content);

 foreach (var item in data.result)
 {                

   cmbGrade.Items.Add(item.grade);                

 }
