No response/results

Richard Berry

I'm trying a SKY API example in a new Visual Studio 2017 console application (.net framework - 4.7.1).  When I attempt do debug the application, all I get is "The program '[25704] ConsoleApp1.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0)". I'm expecting the application to wait for a response and eventually show me the response as the SKY Api [Try it!] page does.  Can anyone tell me what I'm missing.  Thanks

var queryString = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(string.Empty);

Hello again Richard,


Our team doesn't generally get into helping with general coding issues, so hopefully someone else in the community can help you in depth. At a glance, I would have expected something within Main to wait on your call to MakeRequest. Within MakeRequest, I would have expected you to print the results of your request (or otherwise write something to the console to indicate that it did what you wanted). If nothing else, try to Debug and walk through your app to see where isn't falling down.
