Bing search API not working with my Class Library Project

Question

I am integrating bing search API in my C# Class Library project and it is not working! Could you help me with it?

I am following the 'Bing APi Migration Guide' located here and have downloaded a copy of BingSearchContainer.cs from here.

Here is the code in my application

Search URL - https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/ 

Subscription - 5000 transactions/month on Bing Search API

The webQuery.Execute method is not working and I am not getting the expected results

Firstly, the webQuery has a '()' appended at the end of the URL. After calling the bingContainer.Web methof, the query is something like  https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/Web()?Query='iphone 5 review'

Here is the output that I received on executing the Query.. I am not seeing any results in it

Answer 1

HI

Why you add this "()" to your query string?

I follow the migrate guide and it works for me.

@i2infinity

Your bingContainer.Web method should look similar to this:

var webQuery = bingContainer.Web("XBox", "", "", "en-US", "Moderate", 0, 0, "");

After processing the line above, examine the property:

[System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceQuery<Bing.WebResult>.DataServiceOrderedQuery]

...to review the results returned.

Thanks
