Excellent but one minor thing

Is it possible to have some documentation zipped with it so we know what calls we can make. It's great having the Wiki page but a .txt file list (format below) is all that's really required rather than go searching a web page for them all.

{dll to use}
Name.of.call(parameters, needed) :brief description.

You have to make it a bit easier for us dumb programmers

Thanks for the great work.

Well... Documentation... Sure... (Hides and vanished)
No really: I know in this area EveAI Live is severely lacking. Am happy to take any user-contributions. I hope I find the time to at least explain the basics...

Any chance to get it open source ? (not like i can't use reflector anyway ;) )

I'm sure this has been asked and I've just missed it in this thread, but has your API been tested with the lastest .Net Compact framework? I'm thinking about building a couple helper apps for Windows Mobile 6.x...

Thanks, and thanks for creating this great API! :)

Edit: also, how current is the Core static data? I'm not familiar with how often CCP updates the core data, so I'm curious if 1.0.2 has the latest QR updates...

First, congrats on the EveAI 1.0.2 release. I used to use the libeveapi .NET API, but alas it hasn't been updated in a year and several function are now obsolete. It's source is open, but I didn't wanna have to take on a dead project.

Secondly, you have a problem with your Live.EveApi.GetCorporationStarbaseList() caching. My account has 2 characters, one with access to a POS, and the other one doesn't, both in different corperations.
When I set the character I'm using to the first character with the station (Authentication.CharacterID = 12345) and get the starbases (GetCorporationStarbaseList) I can foreach through the list with no issues. If I then set it to the other character (without the POS) and get the list, I get the first characters station list returned. (and yes, I am destroying the object that holds the POS list before re-requesting.

If I run it again for JUST the character without the station, I still get the other list.
If I run it again, BUT this time delete the cache, it returns nothing like it should.

If you would like, I can send you the code for ya to look at as it is a working example of it not working that may help you out. I would also have no issue sending my cache files for your reference. Just send me an evemail with an email address I can send to.

I'm still getting this issue. Has this been resolved?

Not to hijack the thread or anything: I've just joined the libeveapi project and hope to start contributing. Any feedback on its current state is highly appreciated :). (Please use the google code page for that. Thanks :))

Code:

EveApi api = new EveApi(1,'a',1);
CorporationSheet corp = api.GetCorporationSheet();

---

Result:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled

Amida Ta, could you make special exception for case "wrong authentication data"?

---

Fixed for next version 1.0.3.
The LastError should already contain AuthenticationError so you know the Authentication failed.

Code:
EveApi api = new EveApi(1,1,'wrong auth data');
CorporationSheet corp = api.GetCorporationSheet();
if(api.LastErrors.Count>0){
StringBuilder resultMsg = new StringBuilder();
foreach(EveApiError error in api.LastErrors){
resultMsg.AppendLine(error.ToString());
}
MessageBox.Show(resultMsg.ToString());
}

Result:
"ClientMissingCacheFile
AuthenticationFailure
ClientMissingCacheFile"

Expected result:
"AuthenticationFailure"

This is correct by design. If you are only interested in the global result use LastUpdateResult property.

Exact meaning is:
It checked for a cachefile first, but did not find any valid one.
It then tried to update from online, but that didn't work.
It then checked if ANY cachefile (even an expired one) exists, but not there either.

I tried, but cannot really reproduce your problems (on the other hand my starbase lists are always empty, so not good to test).
The best way of using EveAI is to create ONE EveApi Object per character (and not change the authentication details later to another character). Could you test that?
If it works I'll release a new version that fixes the resource usage (now every EveApi Object recreates the static data in case you don't manually specify it).

And what did you mean by "If I run it again for JUST the character without the station, I still get the other list."? Even if restarting your application you get that effect?
The cachefile should look like StarbaseListApi.12345678 where 12345678 is the characterID, so it should not mix up at the file level cache (EveAI also has two level memory caches that might be the cause)

---

Confirmed that if I create a new AveAPI per character that I don't have the problem anymore. I don't like this approach personally though as it makes using the foreach method of the Lists useless to loop through.

To further explain:
Character1 is a director of corp, and we have 1 POS
Character2 is a normal pilot in a corp, and therefor cannot get POS data

Create an EveAPI with a characterid and fullapikey

Step 1: Set the Authentication.CharacterID = Character1's id, and set the Authentication.StarbaseID = 0
Step 2: Dim oStarbaseList As New List(Of Live.Corporation.StarbaseListEntry)
Step 3: oStarbaseList = api.GetCorporationStarbaseList()

This populates oStarbaseList without issues at all.... so far so good.

Do Step 1 again, but but this time set the Authentication.CharacterID to the second characters ID
Step 2 give me a nice blank list as it should
Step 3 does a couple things
1. It generates 3 LastErrors: ClientMissingCacheFile, AuthenticationCharacterMustBeDirectorOrCEO, and ClientMissingCacheFile
2. Populates oStarbaseList with the starbase list of Character1

Now I expect the 1st part to generate those errors cause the character doesn't have access to get that data, and therefore cannot get/create that data, but the oStarbaseList should *NOT* get re-populated with the other characters starbase list.

Something like:

something = api.GetAccountEntries ();
