VB.Net API-NG

[Lopiner]

I'm going to touch on this issues again. It's incredible that there is no VB.Net example (there are already 7 sample projects, no VB.Net, the programming language that attracted more users in the old API).
Also, in the new API there is no descriptive language file like the WSDL. There is a need to create all the classes for every Request/Response (and a transformation process from object to Json and Json to object). If someone builds this i will pay for it. It's really stupid for all of us to build this and the code needed would be immense.

Hi Lopiner I totally agree with you and even the samples that are included are all written in GeekSpeak
I am a total programming dummy and I have no intention of learning Json - Dictionaries-Collections bla bla - I have had a few goes with Json and can get marketIds etc but that it!
I dont even want to get too involved because if they intend to charge in April they can whistle - Betdaq here I come
Anyway it all depends on what you need from the API but I may be able to help
I am only interested in UK and Ire Horse Racing and My bot loads me a list of all my Selections before I go to the API
I then place all the bets at there Market Off Time and at SP - I dont actually need any prices
All I need is Selection Names - Meeting and Times- Market Id's and Selection ID's -- All this is in Market catalogue
I have achieved this without using any Json whatsoever by just manipulated the Catalogue Response String now all I have to do is place the bets which seems a pretty easy task
You and anybody else are welcome to have what I have so far as I am just at an early stage yet and besides for the next Week or so I am just going to get Rat A*****ed
Its not pretty but who cares - It works lol
So just have a look at the enclosed pic and see if it will be enough to get you started
If you install the latest Studio Express 2013 http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downl....aspx?id=40787
I can upload the files on here in a Zip then all you have to do is double click the Sin file and you can play with it at your leisure
You will just need your 2 appkeys - All the Login- Funds and Session Token come from the Old API
Cheers

Forget it

Forget last post I have done a bit of research into Json and it is far easier to use than I imagined
Not only that but its a lot easier than the Old API stuff once you get the hang of it and a hell of a lot easier to maintain
Not got round to doing anything yet with those horrendous request strings yet but not a problem anyway once set up for what I need
