How Can I Get the Post Name for Link ?

[GlennIM]

I need it to return the Post Name permalink format not the Plain format. How can I convert this to the Post name format ?

I checked the blog I created a post on and the Pernalink settings are set to "Post Name".

string postID = client.NewPost(post);
Post thepost = client.GetPost(Convert.ToInt32(postID)); // returns "http://mysite.com/?p=6175"

Did you create your post in draft mode?

[GlennIM]

Yes... creating in "Draft Mode"

If I create it in Publish mode, will it return the post name format?

Also, before I publish a post, can you tell me how to check to see if it already exists already? I don't want to post duplicate content. Can you show me a code snippet I would use to check for an existing post?

Thanks Again,
Glenn
