Re: DropBox API Documentation ???
Hello...
I just began working with DropBox as a remote file storage location for a commercial applictaion that I have been developing.
I am developing a Micrososft WPF application in VB.NET and ...
Your observation that you can find the "DownloadAsync" method in the API documentation under "FilesUserRoutes" may be true.
However, the problem is that in this instance, when you develop with the "DownloadAsync" method, you do not use the "FilesUserRoutes" namespace but instead the "Files" namespace under the DropboxClient.
Given this, how is a developer who is new to working with the Dropbox API supposed to be able to find credible information, in this case with the API reference, when it is either incorrect or as in this case, in the wrong place?
I have no idea as to how many hours I spent researching various documents describing how to to do a simple file download before I finally found something that worked as expected. And none of this was found on the Dropbox site at all...
