Can't request balance using RPC

Question

I'm trying using C#. Getting the following error message:

{
    "error": {
    "code": -32700,
    "message": "Parse error"
},
"id": 0,
"jsonrpc": ""

}

Basically doing the following, which should work. Could anyone shed some light? Been looking at some examples, but can't find the issue.

var values = new NameValueCollection();
values["jsonrpc"] = "2.0";
values["id"] = "0";
values["method"] = "getbalance";

Answer 1

Here's the curl command I use:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5000/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"getbalance","id":"test"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Your JSON seems to be formatted entirely incorrectly, as name=value pairs, so check the library you're using to produce the JSON.
