Adwords API c# -- Downloading reports

[Denis Poifol]

Hi,

I'm only getting started in c# and with the adwords api. 

And i'm having trouble running the exemples provided.

After I struggled to get it running and setting up the differents tokens, Id and passwords. 

It seems I'm still doing it wrong since the exemples that should download reports throw an exception and the only file i've modified is the app.config

Here's a copy of the exception thrown :

{"Failed to download report."}

{"AdWordsReportsException: Report download errors occurred. \r\n\r\nError: AuthorizationError.USER_PERMISSION_DENIED, Trigger: <null>, FieldPath: \r\n\r\n"}

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Here's a copy of my app.config file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

  <configSections>

    <section name="AdWordsApi" type="System.Configuration.DictionarySectionHandler"/>
