Seems you are trying to call Web API from your Windows Form application.

You can try this way:

On your Windows from Button Click event you can write this code snippet

private void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            HttpClient _httpClient = new HttpClient();
            
           
            string uri = "http://localhost:11951/api/MsAgent/GetMSAgentByAlias?alias=TestParam";
            var _http_response = _httpClient.GetAsync(uri);
            _http_response.Wait();
            var _read_response = _http_response.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            _read_response.Wait();
            if (_read_response.Result.Contains("No Data Found!"))
            {
               // Your Logic what you would like to do when no response
            }
            
            
            var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MSAgentViewModel>(_read_response.Result);
            
            //Do what you wants to do with your API response
            //Can Bind Data With From Property
            
        }

This is one way, you can make the API Service Class in diffrent class its up to you. Lot of best practice out there. Let me know if you require more help on this.
