You can't due to the async nature of WP. It seems like you have lifted examples from a non WP project. In WP, you have to make the call and then register an even that listens to the completion of the task. Further reading on Async Calls

private void GetSource(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        System.Net.WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.bbc.co.uk");
        //request.ContentType = "application/json";
        request.Method = "GET";

        request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(GetResponseCallback), request);
    }

 private void GetResponseCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
    {
        var request = asynchronousResult.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest;

        if (request != null)
        {
            try
            {
                WebResponse response = request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
                using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
                {
                    using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8))
                    {
                        var responseString = reader.ReadToEnd();

                        MessageBox.Show(responseString);
                    }                      
                }
            }
            catch (WebException e)
            {
               // Handle exception
                MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
            }
        }
    }

 public void SendPost(Uri uri, string json)
    {
    var webClient = new WebClient();
    webClient.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";
    webClient.UploadStringCompleted += this.sendPostCompleted;
    webClient.UploadStringAsync(uri, "POST", json);
    }
