.NET Framework
XML-RPC.NET library : http://xml-rpc.net/
The following code samples show how to use the XML-RPC.NET library and the .NET Framework to call MetaWeblog API methods exposed by Windows Live Space
MetaWeblogAPI VisualBasic .NET Code Sample
Example
This C# code example demonstrates how to use all of the methods supported by the MetaWeblog API. The example enables external programs to get and set the text and attributes of Weblog posts. The example uses the XML-RPC protocol for communication between client applications and the Weblog server.
