Amazon Simple Notification Service AWSSDK C# - S.O.S

Question

I am trying to publish with Amazon's AWSSDK for C# and the Simple Notification Service.

There are no samples that come with the SDK and there are no samples anywhere on the web I could find after 2 hours of Googling. I came up with this but it is throwing an exception that yields no more information than the single string, "TopicARN" - no inner exception - nuffin!
If anyone has successfully sent a message with SNS via C# using the AWSSDK I would love to see even the most rudimentary working example. I am using the latest SDK 1.5x

Here's the code:

string resourceName = "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:xxxxxxxxxxxx:StackOverFlowStub"; AmazonSimpleNotificationServiceClient snsclient = new AmazonSimpleNotificationServiceClient(accesskey,secretkey); AddPermissionRequest permissionRequest = new AddPermissionRequest()                 .WithActionNames("Publish")                 .WithActionNames(accesskey)                 .WithActionNames("PrincipleAllowControl")                 .WithActionNames(resourceName); snsclient.AddPermission(permissionRequest);  PublishRequest pr = new PublishRequest(); pr.WithMessage("Test Msg"); pr.WithTopicArn(resourceName); pr.WithSubject("Test Subject"); snsclient.Publish(pr);

Here is a sample that creates a topic, sets a topic display name, subscribes an email address to the topic, sends a message and deletes the topic. Note that there are two spots where you should wait/check your email before continuing. Client is the client instance, topicName is an arbitrary topic name.

// Create topic string topicArn = client.CreateTopic(new CreateTopicRequest {     Name = topicName }).CreateTopicResult.TopicArn;  // Set display name to a friendly value client.SetTopicAttributes(new SetTopicAttributesRequest {     TopicArn = topicArn,     AttributeName = "DisplayName",     AttributeValue = "StackOverflow Sample Notifications" });  // Subscribe an endpoint - in this case, an email address client.Subscribe(new SubscribeRequest {     TopicArn = topicArn,     Protocol = "email",     Endpoint = "[email protected]" });  // When using email, recipient must confirm subscription Console.WriteLine("Please check your email and press enter when you are subscribed..."); Console.ReadLine();  // Publish message client.Publish(new PublishRequest {     Subject = "Test",     Message = "Testing testing 1 2 3",     TopicArn = topicArn });  // Verify email receieved Console.WriteLine("Please check your email and press enter when you receive the message..."); Console.ReadLine();  // Delete topic client.DeleteTopic(new DeleteTopicRequest {     TopicArn = topicArn });
