I am trying to submit an item to base through the latest C# Library provided (v1.1.1.0) with no luck. I've tried a single item submission and a batch upload (ultimately I want to do batch uploading). I've run the gbase_demo sample program successfully with my developer key and username/password. I've tried replicating the code from there in my own program, but I must still be missing something. I always get an "Invalid Item" return code (400). I don't know if the reason is that there already is an item with the same ID

I've included my program and the XML of the entry trying to be sent. I've included all the required fields, but I always get this reply. I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks Derek Wade
