How to read a javascript FormData object on .NET WebAPI 5.2.2

Question

I'm trying to implement a web cam video recording upload as per this RecordRTC example.

The problem is that "Request.Files" throws the following compiling error as shown in the screenshot.

'HttpRequestMessage' does not contain a definition for 'Files' and no extension method 'Files' accepting a first argument of type 'HttpRequestMessage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What should I do in order to fix the error?

Check whether you have correct references, `System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files` — SilentCoder, Jul 03 '16 at 03:53

It should be from the System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files not from the HttpRequestMessage
