Error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."

[black_13]

I have just obtained Mappoint developer login and have been able to
set new passworld.
When i visit the url https://mappoint-css.live.com/CSCV3/Css.aspx it
shows I am active.
However when attemp to run the example "ClickToCenterMapCS" from the
map point sdk 4.5
i get "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." error.
I have tried this example on a network with and without a proxy
service and the result is
the same.
I will also say that I filled in the values MPUser/MPPass in the
app.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="MPUser" value="uname" />
<add key="MPPass" value="password" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

i took the user name from the email i was sent after application:

Virtual Earth Platform developer account name: uname
Virtual Earth Platform developer account ID: 5551212
Virtual Earth Platform developer account password:
You will be prompted to create this password upon your visit to the
VEP CSS.Customer data source name: uname5551212

should this be the Virtual Earth Platform developer account name or
is it another accountname password combination?

thanks

Hi,

The user name when accessing the MapPoint service is the Account ID, this
should be a 4-6 digit number. To verify this, log in to the CSS and open the
'verify credentials' link (left hand menu). You will be able to view the
account ID and verify your password.
