Hi,
Have you considered using the .NET client library
<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib>? It will take care of
the HTTP layer for you (among other things) and has a number of convenient
utilities for running reports
<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib/wiki/Downloading-Reports>
.
Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team
