I want to use the HttpClient class from the WCF Rest Service to create a client to call rest services. I heard it was rolled into .net 4.0 but don't know the assembly it's stored in.

According to this MSDN page, it is new in .NET 4.5.

"Supported in: 4.5"

If you're on .NET 4.5, it will be in the System.Net.Http assembly.

While you are waiting for .net 4.5 to roll out, you can get a 4.0 version from Nuget. http://nuget.org/packages/System.Net.Http

Just see the documentation:

Namespace: System.Net.Http
Assembly: System.Net.Http (in System.Net.Http.dll)

The WCF REST Starter Kit Preview 2 includes a set of classes designed to simplify interaction with REST web services. The communications are performed using the HttpClient class with the help of other types from the Microsoft.Http namespace. These types can be found in the Microsoft.Http.dll assembly located in the Assemblies folder of the starter kit.
