namespace CallRESTAPI_WPF
{
    public class Employees
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Company { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }

using System.Net.Http.Headers; 

namespace CSharpTutorials
{
    public static class  Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var clientResponse =  callRESTAPI(); 

            if(clientResponse.Result == null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Please check the Url Parameters");
            } 
        }

       public static async Task<IEnumerable<Employees>> callRESTAPI()
        {
   
            var httpClient = new HttpClient();
            var baseUrl = "https://localhost:8080/api/Employee/GetAll";
            httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(baseUrl);

            httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));


            var response = httpClient.GetAsync(baseUrl).Result;

            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                dynamic dataresponseobject =  response.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<Employees>>().Result;
            
                foreach (var item in dataresponseobject)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"{item.Company}");
                } 
            } 
            return response.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<Employees>>().Result;
       }
   }

            InitializeComponent();
            var dataObject = callRESTAPI();
            datagridview.ItemsSource = dataObject.Result;
        }

        public static async Task<IEnumerable<Employees>> callRESTAPI()
        {
            var httpClient = new HttpClient();
            var baseUrl = "https://localhost:8080/api/Employee/GetAll";
            httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(baseUrl);

            httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));


            var response = httpClient.GetAsync(baseUrl).Result;

            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                var dataresponseobject = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<Employees>>().Result;

                return dataresponseobject;

            }
