Yeah, got the TagId problem fixed – we’re about a week away from a new release, with lots of bug fixes and new functionality.

I’m seeing a different problem: Flickr is returning tag IDs that have embedded dashes, like this:
id=”413194-87434047-1700″

This is not consistent with what Cal has said about all object identifiers being 64-bit integers. I’m hoping this is just a glitch that creeped into the API code that will get patched (I’ve raised this question on the developer list).

I found the reason for the problem i wrote in my previous comment.
The tagid is being parsed as ‘long’ in PhotoInfo.cs line 264. it should be ‘string’. maybe it was long and have been changed to string recently in resonpose string.

That makes sense, thanks.

The TotalPhotos is not the number of photos returned by the function – it is the total number of photos which CAN be returned – they are split into pages (defaults to 100 funnily enough) – you’ve only returned the first page.

Hi, I’m getting an error trying to access the PhotoCollection part of Photos

photos.PhotoCollection.Item(100) throws an exception, despite the collection having 134 photo objects in it.. (According to photos.TotalPhotos)

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Aldaron:
Disclaimer: I haven’t even looked at any of this code yet.
But looking at your stack trace, I’d say it’s calling unmanaged code from RASAPI32.dll.
A couple of things could be going here, but it’s more than likely not allowed to make this call from the

It may not like the unmanaged call from the

Thanks so much for this library. I added this to the groups section. It seems to work just fine

///
/// Returns a that match the text specified.
///
/// text used to search for groups
/// A instance.
public PoolGroups GroupsSearch(string text)
{
return GroupsSearch(text, 0, 0);
}
///
/// Returns a that match the text specified.
///
///
/// Number of groups to include per page.
/// The page to download this time.
/// A instance.
public PoolGroups GroupsSearch(string text, int perPage, int page)
{
NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();
parameters.Add(“method”, “flickr.groups.search”);
parameters.Add(“text”, text);
if( perPage > 0 ) parameters.Add(“per_page”, perPage.ToString());
if( page > 0) parameters.Add(“page”, page.ToString());
FlickrNet.Response response = GetResponseCache(parameters);

if( response.Status == ResponseStatus.OK )
{
return response.PoolGroups;
}
else
{
throw new FlickrException(response.Error);
}
}

Also added this

///
/// Gets a users public photos. Excludes private photos.
///
/// The user id of the user.
/// The collection of photos contained within a object.
public Photos PeopleGetPublicPhotos(string userId)
{
return PeopleGetPublicPhotos(userId, 0, 0);
}
public Photos PeopleGetPublicPhotos(string userId, int perPage, int page)
{
NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();
parameters.Add(“method”, “flickr.people.getPublicPhotos”);
parameters.Add(“api_key”, _apiKey);
parameters.Add(“user_id”, userId);
if( perPage > 0 ) parameters.Add(“per_page”, perPage.ToString());
if( page > 0) parameters.Add(“page”, page.ToString());

FlickrNet.Response response = GetResponseCache(parameters);

if( response.Status == ResponseStatus.OK )
{
return response.Photos;
}
else
{
throw new FlickrException(response.Error);
}
}
