Hi Simon, Almost forgot to mention: since you are making calls to the sandbox, you need to initialize the sandbox and use the clientCustomerIds in it.
1. In your Web.config, you should have email/password as your gmail email/password. Comment out clientCustomerId. 2. Call GetCampaigns.cs. Reference example is at http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/trunk/examples/adwords/csharp/v201109/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.cs. This will initialize your sandbox. 3. Call GetAccountHiearchy.cs. Example here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/trunk/examples/adwords/csharp/v201109/AccountManagement/GetAccountHierarchy.cs. This will return the sandbox accounts that were created for you. 4. Copy one of those customerIds into your web.config's clientCustomerId key, and uncomment the key. 5. Run any code example.
