System.Web.HttpRequestBase does not contain a definition for 'CreateResponse'

Question

I get this error on this method:

        [HttpGet]            
        public HttpResponseMessage Search([ModelBinder(typeof(ApiDataTablesModelBinder))] IDataTablesRequest requestModel)
        {
            var sortedColumn = requestModel.Columns.GetSortedColumns().SingleOrDefault();

            bool isDesc = false;
            string sortField = "ID";

            // get all projects and order them
            var projects = lkp_surveyRepo.GetAll();//.OrderBy(sortField, isDesc).ToList();

            // filtered projects
            var filteredResults = projects;

            filteredResults = projects.Where(x => x.code == selectedDistrictID);

            var pagedResults = filteredResults.Skip(requestModel.Start).Take(requestModel.Length);
            var result = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, new DataTablesResponse(requestModel.Draw, pagedResults, filteredResults.Count(), projects.Count()));

            return result;
        }

my controller implements a controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
    {

I found this question, but the answer did not help me:

CreateResponse method in asp.net web interface

full error:

Error 13 'System.Web.HttpRequestBase' does not contain a definition for "CreateResponse" and the best overload of the extension method "System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessageExtensions.CreateResponse (System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage, System.Net.HttpStatusCode, T) some invalid arguments

Do you see what I'm doing wrong? maybe something is wrong with what's inside the method CreateResponse... thanks
