using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Google.GData.Client;
using Google.GData.Spreadsheets;

namespace Google_test3
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string USERNAME = "test";
        string PASSWORD = "test";
        SpreadsheetsService service = new SpreadsheetsService("MySpreadsheetIntegration-v1");

        service.setUserCredentials(USERNAME, PASSWORD);



        // Instantiate a SpreadsheetQuery object to retrieve spreadsheets.
        SpreadsheetQuery query = new SpreadsheetQuery();

        // Make a request to the API and get all spreadsheets.
        SpreadsheetFeed feed = service.Query(query);

        if (feed.Entries.Count == 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("None");
        }

        // TODO: Choose a spreadsheet more intelligently based on your
        // app's needs.
        SpreadsheetEntry spreadsheet = (SpreadsheetEntry)feed.Entries[0];
        Console.WriteLine(spreadsheet.Title.Text);

        // Get the first worksheet of the first spreadsheet.
        // TODO: Choose a worksheet more intelligently based on your
        // app's needs.
        WorksheetFeed wsFeed = spreadsheet.Worksheets;
        WorksheetEntry worksheet = (WorksheetEntry)wsFeed.Entries[0];

        // Define the URL to request the list feed of the worksheet.
        AtomLink listFeedLink = worksheet.Links.FindService(GDataSpreadsheetsNameTable.ListRel, null);

        // Fetch the list feed of the worksheet.
        ListQuery listQuery = new ListQuery(listFeedLink.HRef.ToString());
        ListFeed listFeed = service.Query(listQuery);
        // Create a local representation of the new row.
        row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "firstname", Value = "Joe" });
        row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "lastname", Value = "Smith" });
        row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "age", Value = "26" });
        row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "height", Value = "176" });

        // Send the new row to the API for insertion.
        service.Insert(listFeed, row);
    }
}
}

Answer 1

There's a line missing in the example in the documentation:

ListEntry row = new ListEntry();
row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "firstname", Value = "Joe" });
row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "lastname", Value = "Smith" });
row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "age", Value = "26" });
row.Elements.Add(new ListEntry.Custom() { LocalName = "height", Value = "176" });

If you switch to the Java view, you can see that the Java version includes this line.

This Services from Google are discontinued and now they came up with another one named Google.Apis.Sheets.v4 services.

so the above code will not work now a days, I have already tried.

And find something that worked out for me.

I have written a blog and shared the whole source code there. Check it out.

private static SheetsService AuthorizeGoogleApp()
 {
     UserCredential credential;

     using (var stream =
         new FileStream("client_secret.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
     {
         string credPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(
             System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
         credPath = Path.Combine(credPath, ".credentials/sheets.googleapis.com-dotnet-quickstart.json");

         credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
             GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
             Scopes,
             "user",
             CancellationToken.None,
             new FileDataStore(credPath, true)).Result;
         Console.WriteLine("Credential file saved to: " + credPath);
     }

     // Create Google Sheets API service.
     var service = new SheetsService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
     {
         HttpClientInitializer = credential,
         ApplicationName = ApplicationName,
     });

     return service;
 }
