TargetInvocationException [modified]
-
Hi All; [Edited to include link to mentioned tutorial] I am trying out Scott Guthrie's Silverlight tutorial and got stuck in a rut. I cannot find any details around. When I query DIGG on 'car', 'cars', 'sport'....I get an error (described later), while if I query 'space', 'baseball', 'microsoft' I get expected XML. Just does not make sense. The Exception is: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException Inner Exception: System.Exception: Download Failure. Tnx to all Ian

Hi. The DIGG service is not returning search results (which is why you can't just send it any ol' string). Rather, it's returning items that belong to a defined topic. If you go to Digg.com, you'll see the topics divided into categories along a bar at the top of the page. You have to supply one of the sub-topic strings to get a valid response. This is why you can use "baseball" but not "cars". There's a "baseball" topic at DIGG.com but there isn't a topic called "cars". -Ian
