Hi David, If you absolutely need a version that is compatible with 2003 you can download one of the older versions:
http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/downloads/list?can=1&q=&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount It looks like version 1.1.3.0 and earlier still used 2003 (.NET 1.1) I believe that .NET applications honor the IE proxy settings for all outgoing HttpWebRequests. (So that would include the API traffic.) On an aside - if you wanted to try working with the newer client library you could get a copy of Visual C# Express for free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/vcsharp/ Actually, since you're from a college, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a full version of VS2008 for pretty cheap / free. You should see if your college is a member of the MSDNAA: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/default.aspx Lastly, we have a discussion group for the .NET client library if you have some more library-specific questions or troubles: http://groups.google.com/group/gdata-dotnet-client-library The very considerate maintainer of the library (Frank) posts in there pretty frequently. :) Cheers, -Jeff On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 8:48 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Working as a web/windows developer for a large college, I'm currently > trying to upgrade our Student Creation application (Windows App) to > create google email accounts when their network account is created.
