Hi Andy, The AdWordsUser object is part of the AdWords API .NET client library:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/ This library is written to make working with the AdWords API easier, handling a lot of the details around authentication, logging, etc. The library includes lots of sample code which you can use to get started. We've also prepared a wiki article on how to use the API in .NET without the client library, that includes some of the gotchas to look out for: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/wiki/NoClientLibrary Let me know if you have any other questions.
