Programatically adding "Birthday" to Google Contacts using Google contact API?

Hi,

I am trying to add "Birthday" value to Google Contact using Google Contact API (C#). Can anyone help me out here.

I am using Google Data API Setup(1.4.0.2). I got one solution as specified on this link

But to implement accepted solution i need to upgrade to the latest version of the client library i.e API 3.0.

But for .Net i am not getting Version 3 API. What should i do in such situation?

Thanx

You might want to check the API Documentation of Google Contact APIs for .NET.

There is an example on that Exact page on how you add contacts.

The .NET client library only uses Version 2... Birthday API functions are availble in Verison 3. My suggestion is to recompile the .NET client library using Version 3 of the API and try to iron out a few things of the errors yourself. It's a good exercise for fun and certainly not impossible.

Much better answer than just saying "It's impossible".

Actually, the current experimental source code is using Version 3 of the API. It's not stable, but you can surely fix any issues and use that release

Not getting solution on Link specified in Solution : (http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/source/checkout) check the link

You can't get a solution, you would have to compile the latest version of the API yourself and do this from scratch. You can always directly call the API but there's not a "solution" to this problem. You would have to do alot of stuff manually. That link sends you to the SVN checkout page where you can checkout a .NET library that is unstable that used the v3 of the Contacts API. This will take a LOT of legwork, and there is NOT a simple code solution.
