After having trouble getting any of Google's samples to work I tried using the info here to test using the Analytics API:
How do I use a Service Account to Access the Google Analytics API V3 with .NET C#?
The first unexpected issue was that I had to switch my project from .NET 4.0 to 4.5 in order for the compiler to accept the Google.Api.* namespaces. I would have preferred to stay with 4.0 but maybe that is a stated requirement that I missed?
My main issue though is that when I try to create a new AnalyticsService object I get: "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http.Primitives, Version=1.5.0.0...'" I saw one or two similar complaints but the only suggestion I found was to use the API's NuGet package, which didn't help. Any ideas/suggestions?
