Anash, Thanks very much this is starting to come together. I have set up the Web.config as requested and I am trying to run http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/trunk/examples/adwords/csharp/v201109/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.cs. I am adding adding a command line argument of 'v201101.GetAllCampaigns' as you specify in your YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRqbqtsGO_g&feature=player_embedded. However, every time I run it it just list the help text to the console. It is like it does not see he command line arguments. I also compiled the exe and ran it from the command line with 'v201101.GetAllCampaigns' and it also just outputs the help text. It is like I am having a bad brain moment, and cannot see why this is failing. I would appreciate some thoughts on what I am doing wrong if you can think of something obvious.
