Uploading a file from a wpf application to a web api

I am trying to upload a file (image) from a WPF application to a Web Api controller. In the controller I convert the file into a bit array and save it in a DB. I used the following code for sending files to web api

var client = new WebClient();
client.UploadFile("URI", "POST", "filepath");

In my web api I am checking if the incoming request is MimemultipartContent

if (Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())

This works fine. But when I try to send a data buffer instead of a file I am stuck how to write my server side code.

var bytes = File.ReadAllBytes('filepath');
client.UploadData("URI", "POST", bytes);

Got it. It's simple actually.

        var task = Request.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
        var bytes = task.Result;
        Image img = new Image();
        img.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
        img.ImageData = bytes;
        db.Images.Add(img);
        db.SaveChanges();
