    <p>Never called an API before and not sure which classes to use in ASP.NET to do so. I could probably scrape an understanding together from reading various examples of calls to other services, but was hoping someone could suggest which ones would be more specific to my needs so I can get a quick start on things. An example of calling this API with PHP script is located below, so if someone could punch out some code using the HttpWebRequest and WebClient, seeing it in action would be great for said example as well as capturing the reply from the API in the HttpRequest. Also is it possible to call such API's from the client/browser using Jscript or must these calls be made from serverside and result passed to client after ?</p> <pre><code> OUTPUT: The API will output the fields below: error If any error occurs while processing your request, this field will contain an error message. Otherwise, 'OK' will be returned. eta It's a string containing the Estimated Time of Arrival price The price charged to deliver the goods. GST is already included. Note that in the output, fields will be line-separated (character '\n') and each line will contain a field name and respective value separated by '='. See example below. error=OK eta=Overnight price=14.52 The following piece of code is a simple example of how to access our Calculator API using PHP. &lt;? $calculator_url = "http://www.e-go.com.au/calculatorAPI"; /* from/to postcodes */ $pickup = 2000; //From Sydney $delivery = 4000; //From Brisbane /* Dimensions */ $width = 40; $height = 35; $depth = 65; $weight = 2; $ego_params = "?pickup=$pickup&amp;delivery=$delivery"; $ego_params .= "&amp;width=$width"; $ego_params .= "&amp;height=$height&amp;depth=$depth&amp;weight=$weight"; $ego_quote = file($calculator_url . $ego_params); foreach ($ego_quote as $num=&gt;$quote) { $quote = trim($quote); $quote_field = explode("=", $quote); print "Field=" . $quote_field[0] . "\tValue=" . $quote_field[1] . "\n"; } ?&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
