GData .Net Assembly 1.1.4.0 Released. Now .Net Framework 2, VS (2005) Templates, and support for Google Contacts

Google Data API - .NET library 1.1.4.0 released

"It took a while, but we just released a new version of the .NET client library for the family of Atom Publishing protocol based Google Data Apis. There are a lot of changes in this release (you can find the full release notes here: http://google-gdata.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clients/cs/docs/generate...) , but the most notable changes are listed here.

Visual Studio Project Templates

It was never so easy to get going. When you use the setup program, 6 project templates are placed into your Visual Studio template folder. Now, just use "New Project" and pick the template you like. You get a minimal, but working, Google Data API application. ...

...

.NET 2.0 and upwards

The code is slowly moving to the present, and support for .NET 1.1 was removed with this release. Generics and other features just make the SDK perform better and easier to maintain. ...

...

Support for Google Contacts

There is support for the Google Contacts API as well as a project template to get you going.

I've been using the GData assembly in my Blogger Backup utility for a while now and am pretty happy with it. And the team (Frank Mantek and associates) have been very responsive to any issues I've raised (and fast with releases to resolve them).

If you're doing Google "stuff" in .Net then this is a library you should check out...
