How to read webapi responses with HttpClient in C#

On the client, include a read of the content:

    HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("api/customer/GetAll").Result;  // Blocking call!  
    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Request Message Information:- \n\n" + response.RequestMessage + "\n");
        Console.WriteLine("Response Message Header \n\n" + response.Content.Headers + "\n");
        // Get the response
        var customerJsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        Console.WriteLine("Your response data is: " + customerJsonString);

        // Deserialise the data (include the Newtonsoft JSON Nuget package if you don't already have it)
        var deserialized = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IEnumerable<Customer>>(custome‌​rJsonString);
        // Do something with it
    }

Change your WebApi not to use your Response class but rather an IEnumerable of Customer. Use the HttpResponseMessage response class.

Your WebAPI should only require:

[HttpGet, Route("GetAll")]
public IEnumerable<Customer> GetAllCustomers()
{
    var allCustomers = repository.GetAll();
    // Set a breakpoint on the line below to confirm
    // you are getting data back from your repository.
    return allCustomers;
}

Added code for a generic response class based on the discussion in the comments although I still recommend you don't do this and avoid calling your class Response. You should rather return HTTP status codes instead of your own. A 200 Ok, a 401 Unauthorised, etc. Also this post on how to return HTTP status codes.

    public class Response<T>
    {
        public bool IsSuccess { get; set; }
        public string Message { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<T> ResponseData { get; set; }

        public Response(bool status, string message, IEnumerable<T> data)
        {
            IsSuccess = status;
            Message = message;
            ResponseData = data;
        }
    }

OR you can convert on same call

  TResponse responseobject = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<TResponse>().Result;
            responseJson += "hostResponse: " + JsonParser.ConvertToJson(responseobject);
            //_logger.Debug($"responseJson : {responseJson}", correlationId);
