Interacting with google appengine from C#

Question

I'm writing a google appengine application, which stores data and has a web front end. I want to be ableto pull down this data in a C# program. This means I need to authenticate with the site (users must be logged in to view the data). How can I authenticate like this? I tried setting credentials on the WebClient but I keep getting the google login page.

WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
//should it be [email protected] ??

client.BaseAddress = "http://nosoperor-internal.appspot.com";

String s = client.DownloadString("/bank");
//s now contains the google login page, unfortunately

Answer 1

AFAIK, you need to probably use Google Data protocols and account APIs to authenticate.

Edit: I would download the .Net client library and try the examples in there. This is a copy paste from the docs:

Service service = new Service("cl", "exampleCo-exampleApp-1"));
// Set your credentials:
service.setUserCredentials("[email protected]", "mypassword");
