Question

I am trying to connect to rackspace using their api and passing my username and api key but i get this error :

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

here is my code :

        UserCredentials userCreds = new UserCredentials("myusername", "myapikey");
        Connection connection = new Connection(userCreds);

I have followed this tutorial :

http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/index.php/Sample_CSharp_Application

have asked their support and they say we can connect with same key using curl…and they couldnt provide much help.

anyone has any idea?

thanks
