Display image in Xamarin Forms app sourced from post method on RESTful service

$

Hi all, I've been working on an Xamarin Forms app which displays a user Id photo that is grabbed from a Restful service, using a post method with two parameters (eventId, linkid). I have set up a method that connects to the service and grabs the httpresponse message and then converts it into a byte array. This byte array is then converted into a memory stream and placed as the image source. However I am not getting anything showing up, even though I am getting a byte array. Here is my code:-

public Byte[] GrabPhoto(ScanResult[] result) {
    //post method
    string url = @"https://xxxxxx/xxxxx/Photo";
    var values = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    values.Add ("Event", eventName);
    string link = result [0].LinkId.ToString ();
    values.Add ("LinkId", link);
    var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(values);
    var client = new HttpClient();
    var httpResponse = client.PostAsync (url, content);
    httpResponse.Wait();
    Byte[] results = httpResponse.Result.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync ().Result;
    return results;
}

// Profile image for ticket holder if applicable
    var idImage = new Image { Aspect = Aspect.AspectFit };
    idImage.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => new MemoryStream(GrabPhoto (test)));
    idImage.HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center;

// Added to gridView        
grid.Children.Add (idImage, 0, 0);

Any help would be greatly appeciated.
