C# API6 Example Aplication (Async)

[dlinder]

Discovered a bug btw:

if (runnerPrices.bestPricesToLay != null && runnerPrices.bestPricesToLay.Length > 2)
{
layPrice3 = runnerPrices.bestPricesToLay[2].price;
layAmountAvailable2 = runnerPrices.bestPricesToLay[2].amountAvailable;
}

Code from frmMain.cs, and the layAmountAvailable2 should be changed to layAmountAvailable3. As it is, the second lay level uses third level amounts, and third level is zeroed.

Hope this helps someone

Having similiar problems as dlinder with the sample app and my freshly installed visual c# 2008 (express edition), but with slightly different error message (see attached picture).

Also solved by unchecking "use compressed prices" in the login dialog, but would like to understand the reason for the behaviour...

Fix for displaying getMarketPricesCompressed



In the following procedure

private void DisplayGetMarketPricesCompressed


zeroise the prices and amounts outside of the loop


int count = 0;

while (count <= 5)
{
Price[count] = 0;
Size[count] = 0;

count++;
}

count = 0;





Within the loop
Put available to back in 0,1, and 2
Put available to lay in 3,4 and 5


foreach
(Betfair.DataTypes.Sports.MarketPricesInfoDemo.Sel ectionPricesInfo.OddsAvailablePriceInfo odds in runnerPrices.PriceInfo.Values)
{


if (odds.LayAmountAvailable > 0)
{
if (count < 3)
{
count = 3;
}
}

Price[count] = odds.Odds;

// Size[count] = 0;







Just after exiting from the loop
Check the available to backs
And move the prices and amounts up if less than 3 columns

count++;
}






if (Price[2] == 0)
{
Price[2] = Price[1];
Size[2] = Size[1];
Price[1] = Price[0];
Size[1] = Size[0];
Price[0] = 0;
Size[0] = 0;
}


if (Price[2] == 0)
{
Price[2] = Price[1];
Size[2] = Size[1];
Price[1] = 0;
Size[1] = 0;
}




In the procedure private void timer1_Tick(

The following code

if (simpleAPIWrapper.marketResp.market.marketId > 0)
{
if (this.simpleAPIWrapper.useCompressedPrices)
{
GetMarketPricesCompressedAsyncRequest();
}
else
GetMarketPricesAsyncRequest();

Could do to be wrapped within a try/catch block

Hi
Exactly what does this fix? Was it always wrong or is it a fix to keep track with a change in the betfair system?

Hello,

I'm testing this app on VS2008 (no SP1 upgrade) but when i try to login, i've got always a system.security.authentification error, certificate not valid.
My username and pass are correct.

Im unable to solve it and not sure where to search!
Tried to close firewall with no result.
Could someone help me or point me to the right direction coz im quite a noob using web service under dotnet.

Thx

[Drifter]

I can't help with the specific error, but I think in some ways you answer your own question - get the SP1 applied, and also any .NET upgrades then try again. I can't see any obvious reason to not apply the updates.

I get lots of certificate errors on my ISP login (basically they re-direct to a login page using an illegal certificate which then causes Firefox (3.5.3) and IE8 to complain about phishing attacks) but once I'm past that, my login to BF goes pretty smoothly. If you have VS2008 correctly up-to-date, it might identify better where these issues could be coming from, if not from VS itself.

[Gartner]

You got it!

Simply upgrade to SP1 solved my login problem.

Thank you.

I've got same problem, i've got windows in french.

The reason of this problem is on System.Globalization.CultureInfo, certainly decimal format or maybe date.

To solve it for test i just change culture info in my windows config:


1. Open the Regional and Language Options applet from the Control Panel.
2. Note the Current Format.
3. Change the Current Format to English (UK)

Be sure to close VS before changing culture info or it will have no effect until next VS restart.

This is quite tricky and im searching for changing the culture info directly in the source code without to have to change all the windows globalization settings.
Coz im sure it will affect some of my others software and can cause bugs.

If someone could help, it will be really appreciated, thx.

PS: this is the line in frmMain.cs thats returning me an error:

Betfair.DataTypes.Sports.MarketPricesInfoDemo MarketPricesInfo = new Betfair.DataTypes.Sports.MarketPricesInfoDemo(resp );

Re: Decimal number culture.

Gartner...

I think you might be having a problem with the decimal separator when unpacking decimal numbers in compressed strings. Some cultures expect "," but Betfair uses "."

Try changing the code line suggested by tagorac in this post.

Thank you Mumbles, i appreciate.

Error List correct format

Hello.

public string strfloatparse(string str)
            {
                return str.Replace('.', ',');
            }

And in each method where it is necessary to receive from a line type double or float simply to substitute a method call.

It is possible to make more universally even more, it is direct in a separate method all to receive and catch with the help try and cath and to return already ready necessary type.

Code of rate

To clean the reason odds 1.01 in a rate window it is possible a following way!

public string strfloatparse(string str)
        {
            return str.Replace('.', ',');
        }

private void btnBack_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			Button pressedButton = (Button)sender;
			
            int marketId=0;
			int runnerId=0;
			int asianLineId=0;
            int exchangeId = 0;

            string MyPrice = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < pressedButton.Text.ToString().IndexOf("\n", 0); i++)
            {
                MyPrice = MyPrice + pressedButton.Text.ToString()[i].ToString();
            }
			double backPrice= 1.01;
			try
			{
                backPrice = Convert.ToDouble(MyPrice);
			}
			catch
			{
                backPrice = Convert.ToDouble(strfloatparse(MyPrice));
            }

			marketId	= m_market.marketId;
			runnerId	= m_runner.selectionId;
			asianLineId = m_runner.asianLineId;
            exchangeId = m_market.licenceId;
			

			using (frmPlacebet sbm = new frmPlacebet(marketId, runnerId, asianLineId,"B", backPrice, m_simpleAPIWrapper))
			{
				sbm.ShowDialog();
				sbm.Dispose();
			}
		}

It is possible to use already created method public static string NextField(string compressed_prices, char delimiter, ref int iterator) instead of

string MyPrice = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < pressedButton.Text.ToString().IndexOf("\n", 0); i++)
            {
                MyPrice = MyPrice + pressedButton.Text.ToString()[i].ToString();
            }

It does not help. But the option is specified Gartner works well.

Excellent application! Great job! I'm not a programmer but would like something to help society.... but what?
