*sigh*   You know, it's usually best to check all your code before posting on a forum and looking like a fool. LOL.   I was getting the 409 due to some other code in the page firing the Click event a second time. So the 409 was simply your awesome API telling me that the contact had already been submitted. D'oh!   Case closed. Carry on! ... View more

Thanks for the reply and the casting help.   What I am trying to do is very simple. We have a simple eNewsletter sign up form in .NET (C#) on our site. Email address, First Name and Last Name, that's it. I've put the ConstantContactBO.dll and the ConstantContactUtility.dll files in the 'bin' folder of my solution. These libraries are available within my solution, everything builds fine. I've integrated functionality like this in the past without problems, is there something I'm missing?   I have been unable to find just plain old C# code that would fire on a Click event to add the new user when the user submits form data. Does that exist in the Wrapper V0.1 solution or am I looking in the wrong place? I've only found 2 C# examples total, the one above and another that returned (409) errors. I've tried wrapping the request in a Try/Catch and spitting out the exception message, but that doesn't lend any useful info.   Thank you for any C# code-behind examples you can point me to, or any other advice that would help achieve this simple task.   EDIT: Here's the other C# example I found that returned 409 errors: string CCusername = "nationalwestern"; string CCpassword = "PASSWORD REMOVED"; string CCuri = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" + CCusername + "/activities"; string CClistUri = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" + CCusername + "lists/2"; string CCAPIKEY = "API KEY HERE"; AuthenticationData authdata = new AuthenticationData(); authdata.ApiKey = CCAPIKEY; authdata.Username = CCusername; authdata.Password = CCpassword; Contact theContact = new Contact(); theContact.EmailAddress = email; ContactOptInList theList = new ContactOptInList(); theContact.OptInSource = ContactOptSource.ActionByContact; theList.ContactList = new ContactList("2"); theContact.ContactLists.Add(theList); ConstantContactUtility.Utility.CreateNewContact(authdata, theContact);   ...

Hi Nick,   Actually I rewrote it in C#, which could be a source of the problem. I was unable to find the C# equivalent of casting a WebRequest to an HttpWebRequest:   The VB version was this: Dim request As HttpWebRequest = TryCast(WebRequest.Create(address), HttpWebRequest)   My C# version is this: WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(address);   Effectively I'm using a WebRequest object instead of a HttpWebRequest object. I wouldn't be surprised if that causes an issue.   Other than that, the rest of the code ported over to C# without a problem. Here's the whole thing, and thank you for any help:   string CCusername = "nationalwestern"; string CCpassword = "PASSWORD REMOVED"; string CCuri = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" + CCusername + "/activities"; string CClistUri = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" + CCusername + "lists/2"; string CCAPIKEY = "API KEY HERE"; Uri address = new Uri(CCuri); WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(address); request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(CCAPIKEY + "%" + CCusername, CCpassword); request.Method = "POST"; request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder(); data.Append("activityType=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("SV_ADD", Encoding.UTF8)); data.Append("&data=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(("Email Address,First Name,Last Name" + "\n"), Encoding.UTF8)); data.Append(HttpUtility.UrlEncode((email + "," + first_name + "," + last_name), Encoding.UTF8)); data.Append("&lists=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(CClistUri)); Byte[] byteData = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data.ToString()); String st = String.Empty; request.ContentLength = byteData.Length; Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream(); using (postStream) { postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length); } WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); using (response) { StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); st = reader.ReadToEnd(); }   FYI, I intentionally removed the account password and the API key data from the code.   ...
