Can you help please?


I am learning to use SOAP and I have been starting out by trying to access the Betfair API.


So far I have managed to log in successfully but I am now stuck


I have seen a sample program on the betfair site but it's written in C# (See below)


Has anyone converted this code to VB if so can you post some of the code?
For instance how do I go about calling GetEventsReq and display the information on a datagrid?


I'm sure that once I can understand how to run one option I can relate the lessons learnt to all other options.


I'd be very grateful for any assistance.



Thanks
