cannot implicitly convert type 'system.net.http.httpresponsemessage' to 'system.web.httpresponse'

        try
        {
            return  Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Found, mEntities.meters_info_dev.ToList());
        }
        catch (Exception)

    }

Try changing the return type from HttpResponse to HttpResponseMessage as thats what you are making — BugFinder

I have changed it now it's giving me {"Message":"No Data found"} — Moeez

There is insufficient info to pass comment on this - plus thats a whole new question and needs you to do a viable minimal reproducible etc.. — BugFinder

Directly it will not take the implicit conversion as expected But we can use HttpResponseMessage/HttpWebResponse type function to avoid the above issue. I have mentioned some sample code, it may help you.

[HttpPost]
        [Route("AddorUpdatePersonalInfo")]
        public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> AddorUpdatePersonalInfo([FromBody]PersonalInfo personalinfo)
        {
            try
            {
                var result = await this._Personalinforepository.AddorUpdatePersonalInfo(personalinfo);
                HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, result);
                return response;
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, ex.Message));
            }
        }
