How to accept ASP.NET web API controller file for HttpClient in Xamarin Forms PCL application

Question

I have a webapi in asp.net i have a localhost address like http://localhost:50908/api/Schools/ This gives an output in XML file which is something like this:

   <ArrayOfSchool xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/MasterDetail.Models">
<School>
<SchoolCode>TDSB001</SchoolCode>
<SchoolId>1</SchoolId>
<SchoolName>Claude Watson School for Arts</SchoolName>
</School>
<School>
<SchoolCode>TDSB002</SchoolCode>
<SchoolId>2</SchoolId>
<SchoolName>Harvest Community School of Arts.</SchoolName>
</School>
<School>
<SchoolCode>TDSB003</SchoolCode>
<SchoolId>3</SchoolId>
<SchoolName>Yogin Bhatt Arts School.</SchoolName>
</School>
</ArrayOfSchool>

My code for client:

 public async Task<List<School>> GetAsync()

        {
            var httpClient = new HttpClient();
            HttpResponseMessage responseGet = await httpClient.GetAsync("http://10.115.160.142/sampleSchools.xml");
            string response = await responseGet.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();//Getting response 
            response.Replace(((char)0xFEFF).ToString(), "");
            XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("http://10.115.160.142/sampleSchools.xml");
            List<School> SchoolDetailsList = new List<School>();

            //  await DisplayAlert("XmlParsing", doc.ToString, "Ok");
            foreach (var item in doc.Descendants("School"))
            {
                School schoolItem = new School();
                schoolItem.SchoolCode = item.Element("SchoolCode").Value.ToString();
                schoolItem.SchoolId = item.Element("SchoolId").Value.ToString();
                schoolItem.SchoolName = item.Element("SchoolName").Value.ToString();
                SchoolDetailsList.Add(schoolItem);

            }
            //Binding listview with server response  
            var ResList = SchoolDetailsList;


            return ResList;
        }

The like i have given above is not working for my URI, so i made a copy of the xml file and put it on xampp server. That way it is working but that is not the proper way. How to do this operation?

您可以随时尝试将其更改为iis服务器，而不是iisexpress来运行这种代码
