Sergio,
Thank you for your kind response. Is there any way you could please post
your C#.Net code (or VB.Net, for that matter) that you are using to get
this done? No matter what I throw at it, I keep getting an error message
saying I am not allowed to perform this operation for a Shopping campaign.
And could you please pass along to the dev team how frustrating it is to
have code samples that do not show how to perform edits and deletes?
Shopping is the first API Google has ever released that did not provide the
entire CRUD (create, read, update, delete) spectrum in the published sample
code. There would be far fewer questions on the forums if they would have
done that very basic thing.
Thanks,
Eric
