I have a C# application which I'm trying to hook up with Trello. I want to create a board and then post a bunch of cards to it.

Sadly, I'm completely stumped with the first part, creating a board. I've managed to successfully follow the various examples on reading member details and member's boards, but have got nowhere with creating a board.

My code so far looks like this:

    var client = new RestClient(ApiBaseUrl);
    var request = new RestRequest { Resource = "/members/<user>/boards/actions/createBoard", RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json };
    request.AddParameter("key", AuthKey);
    request.Method = Method.GET;
    request.AddParameter("name", "APITest");
    request.AddParameter("desc", "this is the description");
    var response = client.Execute<Board>(request);

I have tried many different variations of the RestRequest Resource and the current error is:

An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1, position 2399

And the content of the response is a big HTML page. The Data property is null.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom? A working createBoard example?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Trello linked to here to get more help hence why I did so. – Lee Sep 20 '12 at 3:01
Heh, I was aware that the general help page did, only just noticed the API help does as well. They should know better :-p – John C Sep 20 '12 at 4:06
