Angular call to controller

var objData = {data: JSON.stringify(JSONObject)}

var mapFile = $scope.service.common.WriteDynamicMapFile.save({}, 

objData).$promise;

mapFile.then(function (response) {**Do Stuff**});

My C# controller

  public class WriteDynamicFileController : ApiController

{

    [System.Web.Http.AcceptVerbs("GET", "POST")]

    [System.Web.Http.HttpPost]

    public HttpResponseMessage POST([FromBody] SimpleRequest data)

    {

        String DynamicFileName = "";

        HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();

        using (HostingEnvironment.Impersonate())

        {



            try

            {                  





                client.Headers.Add("X-Current-User", base.User.GetUsername(true).ToString());

                client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";

                client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;





                DynamicFileName = client.UploadString(theURI, data);



                response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);

                response.Content = new StringContent(DynamicFileName);













            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {                    

                response.ReasonPhrase = ex.InnerException.ToString();

                return response

            }







            return response;



        }

    }



}

I'm getting the result back from an WebAPI that looks like

dynamic431d4460-e95d-4d89-a3d8-d452609632d5.map

which is returned on a post

DynamicMapFileName = client.UploadString(theURI, jSonObject);

I bundle the return string up and return it to the calling angular

response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);

response.Content = new StringContent(DynamicMapFileName);

return response

What I get back in Angular looks like this

0: "d"

1: "y"

2: "n"

3: "a"

4: "m"

5: "i"

6: "c"

7: ""

8: "4"

9: "3"

10: "1"

11: "d"

12: "4"

13: "4"

14: "6"

15: "0"

16: "-"

17: "e"

18: "9"

19: "5"

20: "d"

21: "-"

22: "4"

23: "d"

24: "8"

25: "9"

26: "-"

27: "a"

28: "3"

29: "d"

30: "8"

31: "-"

32: "d"

33: "4"

34: "5"

35: "2"

36: "6"

37: "0"

38: "9"

39: "6"

40: "3"

41: "2"

42: "d"

43: "5"

44: "."

45: "m"

46: "a"

47: "p"

How can I just get the string value back in a string format I can use?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

So even though this got 2 down votes I think it will be helpful for some...

What I ended up doing was going away from the HttpResponseMessage.
I actually created what I called a "SimpleResponse"

  public class SimpleResponse {

    public string data {

        get;

        set;

    }



}

Then I replaced the HttpResponseMessage with the SimpleResponse return type

 public class WriteDynamicFileController : ApiController

{

[System.Web.Http.AcceptVerbs("GET", "POST")]

[System.Web.Http.HttpPost]

public SimpleResponse POST([FromBody] SimpleRequest data)

{

    String DynamicFileName = "";

    HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();

    using (HostingEnvironment.Impersonate())

    {



        try

        {                  





            client.Headers.Add("X-Current-User", 

            base.User.GetUsername(true).ToString());

            client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";

            client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;





            DynamicFileName = client.UploadString(theURI, data);



            response.data = DynamicFileName;













        }

        catch (Exception ex)

        {                    

            response.ReasonPhrase = ex.InnerException.ToString();

            return response

        }







        return response;



    }

}



}

Now I get a usable string in my angular.
