Having a hard time with the formating of the XML and hoping someone can have a look at this code and let me know if they can help.

The code works fine for the getRecords, so all is well there, but with insertRecords I am getting a 4500 general error.  I think it must have something to do with the xml perhaps.  Probably some bonehead mistake on my part.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated. vb code below:

 Private Sub btnConnectAPI_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnConnectAPI.Click

        Dim ticket As String = getZoHoTicketID()

        Dim apiKey As String = "xxxxxxxxxx"

        Dim xml As String = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<Leads>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<row no=""1"">" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<FL val=""Company"">asp comapny</FL>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<FL val=""First Name"">robbie</FL>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<FL val=""Last Name"">Noonan</FL>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<FL val=""Email"">deuce4@nohwere.com</FL>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "<FL val=""Phone"">4444444444</FL>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "</row>" + vbNewLine

        xml += "</Leads>" + vbNewLine

        'URL Format:  http://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/Leads/insertRecords

        'The parameters are:

        'ticket: Ticket ID.

        'apikey: API key of your Zoho CRM account.

        'xmlData: This is an XML string and the format should be same as of getRecords in XML format of fetched records

        'wfTrigger: Set value as true to trigger the workflow rule while inserting record into CRM account. By default, this parameter is false.

        'duplicateCheck: Set value as true to check the duplicate records before inserting into CRM account. By default, this parameter is false.

        'isApproval:  By default, records are inserted directly . To keep the records in approval mode, set value as true. You can use this parameters for Leads, Contacts, and Cases module.

        '        

        Dim targetURL As String = "http://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/Leads/insertRecords" + _

        "?apikey=" & apiKey & "&ticket=" & ticket & "&xmlData=" & xml

        'this gets all leads:

        'Dim targetURL As String = "http://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/Leads/getRecords?apikey=" & apiKey & "&ticket=" & ticket

        Dim request As HttpWebRequest

        request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(targetURL), WebRequest)

        request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post

        Dim oResponse As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()

        Dim reader As New StreamReader(oResponse.GetResponseStream())

        Dim tmp As String = reader.ReadToEnd()

        oResponse.Close()

        MsgBox(tmp.ToString)

    End Sub
