等待使用httpClient.GetAsync（url）并获取错误System.NullReferenceException未处理

Question

我正在使用VS 2012并设置目标framework 4.0.

public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetResponse(Uri url)             
{                 
    this.httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();                 
    HttpResponseMessage response = await this.httpClient.GetAsync(url);                 
    response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();             
}

错误：

我已经从"Microsoft.CompilerServices.AsyncTargetingPack安装了NuGet“，但仍然收到此错误。有任何建议。
