XML-RPC

Using the XML-RPC API With the Cook Computing C# .Net Library

Below is an example of how to use the SECVPN XML-RPC API with the Cook Computing C# .Net Library to place a test transaction on the SECPay server.

Many thanks to Stelios Vassiliou of Dot.Cy Developments Ltd for donating the following example:
