How to Post XML data in C# with XmlElementAttribute Class

Question

I have some XML data like this to post on httpPost:

<logindetail>
<player account="IDR" country="IN" firstName="" lastName="" userName=""
nickName="" tester="1" partnerId="LION8" commonWallet="0"></player>
<partners>
<partner partnerId="" partnerType="0" />
<partner partnerId="" partnerType="1" />
<partner partnerId="" partnerType="1" />
</partners>
</logindetail>

and my code for post the request is like this in C#:

string reqBody = xmlData;

var result = HttpPost(ApiUrl, xmlData, "text/xml");

How can I set the XML data as reqBody for post it on httpPost?

Simle code for Http Post request using HttpClient:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;

    async Task<string> HttpPostAsync(string url, string data , string mediaType)
        {
            using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
            {
                var request = new HttpRequestMessage();

                request.Method = HttpMethod.Post;
                request.RequestUri = new Uri(url);

                request.Content = new StringContent(data, Encoding.UTF8, mediaType);
                var responseMessage = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);

                return await responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            }

        }

Examle of using:

var xmlData = @"<logindetail>
<player account=""IDR"" country=""IN"" firstName="""" lastName="""" userName=""""
nickName="""" tester=""1"" partnerId=""LION8"" commonWallet=""0""></player>
<partners>
<partner partnerId="""" partnerType=""0"" />
<partner partnerId="""" partnerType=""1"" />
<partner partnerId="""" partnerType=""1"" />
</partners>
</logindetail>";

var response = await HttpPostAsync("https://httpbin.org/post", xmlData, "Text/xml");
