Subscribing Users to MailChimp using ASP.NET

Question

I've been tasked with developing a simple package to post from a newsletter signup form to MailChimp. Easy enough for me to do in PHP, but this has to be in ASP.NET, which I don't know at all.

I've found my way to PerceptiveMCAPI, gotten my API keys, my list id, and my form fields set up, but I just have no idea how I'm supposed to create the actual listSubscribe command. The only examples I can find are for listBatchSubscribe, which I haven't been able to water down to only work for a single iteration.

Please help! I need to be pointed in the right direction, or given an example of how to actually build this command.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hope you understand c# code.

listSubscribe cmd = new listSubscribe();

listSubscribeParms newlistSubscribeParms = new listSubscribeParms 
{ 
    apikey = apikey,
    id = listid,
    email_address = "[email protected]",
    merge_vars =  new Dictionary<string, object>(),
    double_optin = false,
    email_type = EnumValues.emailType.html,
    replace_interests = true,
    send_welcome = false,
    update_existing = true 
};            

listSubscribeInput newlistSubscribeInput = new listSubscribeInput(newlistSubscribeParms);

var subscribeSuccess = cmd.Execute(newlistSubscribeInput);

The listSubscribe, listSubscribeParms, listSubscribeInput come from the PerceptiveMCAPI library.

hope this helps.

if it does, then don't forget to mark as answer.
