Greetings! I am trying to develop a console application in Visual Studio that references the Google Base API DLLs. This app will read rows from a SQL Server view and for each row in the view, populate an IList of objects that are then passed to a function that creates a GBaseEntry for each item in the IList. After the GBaseEntry is created, it is Inserted to the feed.

I was originally receiving a 400 error on the submit so I tried to do some debugging and here are the highlights of the debugging... Here is the code so far:

//I've noticed it doesn't matter what I put in the appName parameter here.... Is that true? GBaseService service = new GBaseService("Google- Tutorial-1.0", key); service.setUserCredentials(username, password);

//A ProductEntry is a simple container class that has private and public strings with gets/sets foreach (ProductEntry pe in entries) { GBaseEntry entry = new GBaseEntry();

entry.Title.Text = pe.ProductName + " - " + pe.ProductShortDesc; entry.Content.Content = "Category: " + pe.CategoryName + ". " + pe.ProductLongDesc; entry.GBaseAttributes.ItemType = ITEM_TYPE; entry.GBaseAttributes.AddTextAttribute("Brand", pe.ManufacturerName); entry.GBaseAttributes.AddTextAttribute("mpn", pe.LegacyId); FloatUnit price = new FloatUnit(pe.Price + " usd"); entry.GBaseAttributes.Price = price;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(pe.ImageUrl))

entry.GBaseAttributes.GetUrlAttribute(pe.ImageUrl);

entry.GBaseAttributes.AddTextAttribute("condition", "new"); entry.GBaseAttributes.DeliveryNotes = "Standard or Express"; entry.GBaseAttributes.AddTextAttribute("model number", pe.ProductName); XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out); entry.SaveToXml(writer); Console.Out.Flush(); /*Here's the XML at this point after the flush: <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <g:item_type type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/ 1.0">products</g:item_type> <g:Brand type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">Briggs &amp; Stratton</g:Brand> <g:mpn type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">100524GS</ g:mpn> <g:price type="floatUnit" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/ 1.0">7.65 usd</g:price> <g:condition type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/ 1.0">new</g:condition> <g:delivery_notes type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/ 1.0">Standard or Express</g:delivery_notes> <g:model_number type="text" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/ 1.0">Deck Wash</g:model_number> <title type="text">Deck Wash - 100524GS</title> <content type="text"> Category: Accessories. <p> <font face="Tahoma"> 32 fl. oz. (946ml) - Concentrated Deck Wash </font> </p> <p> <font face="Tahoma">Makes 4 gallons of cleaner</font> </p> </content> </entry>

This looks a little different from this sample entry in the demo page:

<?xml version='1.0'?> <entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:g='http://base.google.com/ns/1.0'> <author> <name>Jane Doe</name> <email>Jane...@gmail.com</email> </author> <title type="text">Marie-Louise's chocolate butter</title> <content type="xhtml"> <b>Ingredients:</b> <ul> <li>250g margarine,</li> <li>200g sugar,</li> <li>2 eggs, and</li> <li>approx. 8 tsp cacao.</li> </ul> <p>Mix everything. Heat while stirring, but do not allow the mix to boil. Put in a container and cool in fridge.</p> </content> <g:item_language type="text">en</g:item_language> <g:item_type type="text">testrecipes</g:item_type> <g:cuisine type="text">danish</g:cuisine> <g:cooking_time type="intUnit">10 minutes</g:cooking_time> <g:main_ingredient type="text">cacao</g:main_ingredient> <g:main_ingredient type="text">margarine</g:main_ingredient> <g:serving_count type="int">4</g:serving_count> </entry> .

The most notable of these differences being the xmlns:g="http:// base.google.com/ns/1.0" attribute in each gbaseattribute. The xmlns:g element is NOT in the entry element. The title and content elements are out of order but other then that don't seem to be incorrect. */ GBaseEntry myEntry = service.Insert(GBaseUriFactory.Default.ItemsFeedUri, entry); }

After the code reaches this point the follow error is kicked out to the console:

Unhandled Exception: Google.GData.Client.GDataRequestException: Execution of request failed:http://www.google.com/base/feeds/items ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Google.GData.Client.GDataRequest.Execute() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Google.GData.Client.GDataRequest.Execute() at Google.GData.Client.GDataGAuthRequest.Execute(Int32 iRetrying) at Google.GData.Client.Service.StreamInsert(Uri feedUri, AtomBase baseEntry, GDataRequestType type) at Google.GData.Client.Service.Insert(Uri feedUri, AtomEntry newEntry) at Google.GData.GoogleBase.GBaseService.Insert(Uri feedUri, GBaseEntry entry) at GoogleBase.ProductSubmission.SubmitNewProducts(String username, String password, IList`1 entries, String appName, String key) in D:\Working Folders\CLIENT\client\GoogleBase \ProductSubmission.cs:line 51 at Google_Base_Uploader.Program.Main(String[] args) in D:\Working Folders\CLIENT\client\Google Base Uploader\Program.cs:line 48

I'd appreciate any insight on what's happening here, thank you for your time.
