Hi All,

I do not usually post on these forums but thought it worthwhile in this case.

We were having issues using the XML-RPC interface with the IP.Board forum software from a ASP.NET Web application.

I requested online assistance and resolved the problem within an hour.

It turned out that we were using a non-associate array when passing parameters via XML-RPC which meant the server responded with "unable to locate module: ''".

To resolve this Mark instructed me to use a struct which worked - thanks a lot!

For reference (using the xml-rpc.net library from http://xml-rpc.net/):

api_key = key;

{
IWordTracker proxy = (IWordTracker)XmlRpcProxyGen.Create(typeof(IWordTracker));

ApiVariables apiVariables = new ApiVariables("guidexample", "ipb");

XmlRpcStruct result = proxy.helloBoard(apiVariables);

foreach (DictionaryEntry dictionaryEntry in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(dictionaryEntry.Key + " : " + dictionaryEntry.Value);
}
}
}

[XmlRpcUrl("http://example.com/interface/board/index.php")]
public interface IWordTracker

[XmlRpcMethod("helloBoard")]
XmlRpcStruct helloBoard(xmlrpc.client.Program.ApiVariables apiVariables);
