Hello Gustav, I am also looking at REST for an interface between our product and Constant Contact. The product is an Access Runtime and I was looking at doing it in VBA but it requires MSXML6 and apparently there are some issues with this being on computers and whether it will be in the future. I have been looking at creating a dll in vb.net for the interface. I did this for a requirement a client had to export data from their Access database to a specified XML reporting format required by the State. It worked well. Constant Contact has created a set of interface objects in C# that look like I can wrap them for my purposes. You might take a look at what they have done http://developer.constantcontact.com/samples/upload_forms. You can download the demo project. I have it but am getting some errors when I try to build it on my VS2008 system. Have not spent a lot of time on it yet, but need to get on it soon. I will be interested in hearing what you learn.

This is new to me so I wonder what a good starting point would be? MS offer a "WCF REST Starter Kit": http://www.msdn.com/wcf/rest but that is for VS2008 and .Net 3.5. I would prefer to use VS2010. Before googling/binging around, has anyone some advice, please? /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
