CloudFiles - Rackspace connection error c#

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

Your sample works but I was looking for a direct way, without the wrapper. This seems to work as well, and uses direct restful access to the Rackspace API.

Hope it helps. Cheers.

        string url = "https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0";
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        request.Headers.Add("X-Auth-User:" + userName);
        request.Headers.Add("X-Auth-Key:" + apiKey);
        request.Method = "GET";

        using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
        {
            string[] keys = response.Headers.AllKeys;

            foreach (var k in keys)
                Console.WriteLine(response.Headers[k]);
        }
