regarding the different operations.. from the spec:
An operations feed contains a list of entries to insert, update, delete, or query. Each operation is defined by a <batch:operation type="insert|update|delete|query"/> element. This element may be a direct child of a <feed> element, a direct child of any of the entries in the feed, or both. When included in an entry, it specifies the operation to execute for that specific entry. When included in the feed, this element specifies the default operation to execute on any entries that do not have a <batch:operation/> element. So that the update feed contains a batch:operation only on the feed level is quiet alright. For the operation id: GData entry results are not necessarily returned in the same order as the request. You can track an operation through its lifetime using an identifier. For update, delete, and query operations, you can use the id of the entry itself to track the operation. For insert operations, since no ID yet exists, you can pass in an operation identifier. This identifier can be used to link the result entries to the request entries. The operation identifier is passed in the <batch:id> element. So, to me it looks like that update feed is just fine on the wire. Why your insert feed has the operation several times (on the feed and entry level) i don't know, if you specify this explictly, the client lib will not try to be smart and "fold" that together... So, in principle, just by looking at what you deemed suspicious, this looks fine. Someone from the contacts support team needs to look at this. This looks like a server side problem, the contacts server should not require a batch id for updates (or, we need to fix the documenation). Beside that, if your code actually sets the BatchData.Id element (and it is probably doing this for inserts somewhere else), the .NET client should send the id. I am looking at the batch unitiest in gbase.cs in the unittest directory, and that one is setting the ID explictly for everything (the .net lib is not magically creating ids).
