C# webrequest example for Empire Avenue API?

[nixkuroi]

I've been trying to pound this out for days with no success. Does
anyone have a working example of a request for getting notifications
in c#?

Any help would be appreciated.

I guess not.

Should just be your standard C# GET_ request...

This looks like it would work, I dont work with C# though so I dont really have the environment setup to test it.

Just adapt so that sURL == the url of your request.

Try posting snippets of your C# code. We might not have much C#
experience here, but I bet someone might be able to offer some helpful
information...

Kevin

Is it webrequest in general or just the request for notifications
that's the problem? The GET request should look something like this:

string HttpGet(string url)
{
HttpWebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(url)
as HttpWebRequest;
string result = null;
try
{
using (HttpWebResponse resp = req.GetResponse()
as HttpWebResponse)
{
StreamReader reader =
new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
result = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// may want to handle this :)

throw e;
}
return result;
}

Kevin, Ulf and John,

Thanks for getting back to me and I was able to work it out on the
29th (yay leap day!). It's pretty similar to what Ulf has there
except I added a couple of lines for the SSL stuff that have appeared
to make the magic happen:


var credCache = new CredentialCache();
credCache.Add(new Uri(url), "Basic", new
NetworkCredential(username, password));
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =
new
System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications);
url = url + "?" + postData;

webRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url) as
HttpWebRequest;
webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true;
webRequest.Credentials = credCache;


Again, much appreciated!

Mike

Good to hear that you found a solution. If you havnt already found a
good JSON parser, I like this one:

There are a few others but I've used this in several different
projects and like it.

Ulf,

That's the exact library I'm using :)

Thanks for the suggestion.
