winforms button click event

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        try
        {
            EmployeeClass emp = new EmployeeClass() { Project_Name = "Hello", Task = "Task", Username 
              = "fazal" };
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:44342/");
            HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/values/AddTask", 
           emp).Result;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
             {

            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
       
        }

Here is return

{StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: 'OK', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:{ Pragma: no-cache X-SourceFiles: =?UTF-8?B?

The Web Api controller Code is

    database_access_layer.db dblayer = new database_access_layer.db();

    [HttpPost]

    public IHttpActionResult AddTask([FromBody] Taskcs css)
    { 
        try
        {
          dblayer.AddTask(css);
            return Ok("Success");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex);
            return Ok("Something not OK ");
        }

    }

Your problem is that you are expecting a type of Taskcs in your controller but you are sending a type of Employee :

    [HttpPost]

    public IHttpActionResult AddTask([FromBody] Taskcs css) <-- expects Taskcs

In your client:

            HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/values/AddTask", 
           emp); <-- emp is an Employee

So there are two options:

1. change AddTask to expect and Employee:

public IHttpActionResult AddTask([FromBody] Employee css)

2. Change the client to post a Taskcs:

HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/values/AddTask", 
           emp.Task);
