ASP.NET Amazon ItemSearch

Question

Does anyone know of any good examples, or care to explain how to do an amazon lookup similar to this, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/coding4fun/archive/2006/10/31/912260.aspx, I would just use this, but it seems to be out of date and the source is no longer available. Ideal What i would like to be able to do is look up items on either keyword such as "star trek" or straight up UPC. What I would like to get back is title, description, year, and a link to an image, type (dvd, books, music). Any help would be great, thanks.

I wrote a little C# Wrapper for Amazon ItemLookup that hands you back a handy object graph. It only supports ItemLookup right now. I have the source up on BitBucket.

You can make calls like:

var item = client.LookupByAsin("B0037X9N5U");
double? price = item.GetLowestPrice();
