Hi,

Working as a web/windows developer for a large college, I'm currently
trying to upgrade our Student Creation application (Windows App) to
create google email accounts when their network account is created. I
know this isn't the discussion group for that particular API, but the
problems I'm encountering are in setting up my VS2003 to begin with.

I found the "Getting Started with the .NET Client Library" <http://
code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/dotnet_client_lib.html> article on
the google site, and it sounded fantastic because it was talking about
loading VS2003 solution files and converting them to 2005, I thought
"Great! I can just use the VS2003 solution file as it is".
Unfortunately the files and folders referenced in the article don't
exist in the google install! That section was concerned with compiling
the dlls and sample apps.

There is a section further down, "Developing your own application",
which talked about using the ready built dlls in the redist folder.
This suggested I choose "Add Reference" from the project menu, browse
to the redist folder and select the API's I need. I've added
references many times before but this is the first time I've ever seen
an error when adding a reference that says:

"A reference to 'C:\Program Files\Google\Google Data API SDK\Redist
\Google.GData.Extensions.DLL' could not be added. This is not a valid
assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extension 'dll' and
COM components can be referenced. Please make sure that the file is
accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."

I tried adding a reference to the debug dlls also and got the same
error, I also tried different dlls and still no joy.

Also, the server on which the application runs has to go through a
proxy to get to the internet. This is already configured in IE on that
machine, so web access through that is fine. But how do I specify that
the API calls from my windows application also go through this proxy?
I mean I can create connections through a proxy in VS2003, but that's
completely separate from the API calls is it not?

I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on these
issues.

Regards,
David.
