Hi, i'm trying to call the MySpace API using oAuth in c#.NET but for some reason it's always giving me a 401 error (Unauthorized). i double and triple checked my code it all seems fine and "should" work.

Can you redirect me to an example/toolkit or a working demo to download/test?

I have not used their api but my first guess would be your credentials are incorrect. If you are encrypting them, check your encrypting technique. It is probably giving you wrong result.

You have a point there, but can you put me on the right track on how to check if the encryption is correct? i am indeed encrypting the signature after generating it. I've found this tool (http://developer.myspace.com/modules/apis/pages/devtool.aspx) provided by MySpace to match results generated by my app and those generated by the tool. but i don't really know how to check my encryption result.

this toolkit is outdated... 2008.
quote:
"In the future myspace has indicated that there will be a way to cause a user to log into a page which will then do a redirect (callback url) to a page you have hosted and that there will be a request token. It sounds simliar to the facebook authentication approach."
this is what i'm using now in 2012.

the toolkit won't work. i need to specify a consumerKey(example: hj122432g42j34hvg213j4 NOT www.myspace.com/213121441) a consumerSecretKey, and a CallBack URL.
