The problem as the ImageParameters element cannot contain a child ImageParameter

Question

I am trying to create a usps shortcut with 4x6, but I ran into this problem. Can anyone help me create a 4x6Label.

I also tried changing the version from DeliveryConfirmationV3 to DeliveryConfirmationV4, but still it does not generate 4x6Label.

My xml request is passed as

https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll?API=DeliveryConfirmationV3&XML=<DeliveryConfirmationV3.0Request USERID="xxxxx" PASSWORD="xxxxxx"> <Option>1</Option> <ImageParameters> <ImageParameter>4X6LABEL</ImageParameter> </ImageParameters> <FromName>Mitesh1 Jain1</FromName> <FromFirm></FromFirm> <FromAddress1>52 NORMANDY RD</FromAddress1> <FromAddress2>QWE</FromAddress2> <FromCity>MARLTON</FromCity> <FromState>NJ</FromState> <FromZip5>08053</FromZip5> <FromZip4></FromZip4> <ToName>DISCRETE JRC,LLC</ToName> <ToFirm></ToFirm> <ToAddress1>110 South 8th Street</ToAddress1> <ToAddress2>Suite 104</ToAddress2> <ToCity>Philadelphia</ToCity> <ToState>PA</ToState> <ToZip5>15001</ToZip5> <ToZip4></ToZip4> <WeightInOunces>1</WeightInOunces> <ServiceType>Priority</ServiceType> <POZipCode></POZipCode> <ImageType>PDF</ImageType> <LabelDate></LabelDate> <CustomerRefNo></CustomerRefNo> <AddressServiceRequested>False</AddressServiceRequested> <SenderName></SenderName> <SenderEMail></SenderEMail> <RecipientName></RecipientName> <RecipientEMail></RecipientEMail> </DeliveryConfirmationV3.0Request> 

but i get an error like

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Error> <Number>-2147221202</Number> <Source>Common:XmlParse</Source> <Description>The element 'ImageParameters' cannot contain child element 'ImageParameter' because the parent element content model is text only.</Description> <HelpFile/> <HelpContext/> 

It originally worked perfectly, but after passing

 <ImageParameter>4X6LABEL</ImageParameter> 

this problem occurs

Currently my code looks like

  public Package GetDeliveryConfirmationLabel(Package package) { string labeldate = package.ShipDate.ToShortDateString(); if (package.ShipDate.ToShortDateString() == DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()) labeldate = ""; string url= "https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll?API=PriorityMailIntlCertify&XML= <PriorityMailIntlCertifyRequest USERID=\"XXXXX\"> <Option></Option> <Revision>2</Revision> <ImageParameters> <ImageParameter>4X6LABEL</ImageParameter> </ImageParameters> <FromFirstName>Garth</FromFirstName> <FromMiddleInitial>A</FromMiddleInitial> <FromLastName>Brooks</FromLastName> <FromFirm>Garths Firm</FromFirm> <FromAddress1>radlab</FromAddress1> <FromAddress2>6406 Ivy Lane</FromAddress2> <FromUrbanization>Garys Urbanization</FromUrbanization> <FromCity>Greenbelt</FromCity> <FromState>MD</FromState> <FromZip5>20770</FromZip5> <FromZip4>1234</FromZip4> <FromPhone>3019187658</FromPhone> <FromCustomsReference> From Customs Ref.</FromCustomsReference> <ToName></ToName> <ToFirstName>Reza</ToFirstName> <ToLastName>Dianat</ToLastName> <ToFirm>HP</ToFirm> <ToAddress1>HP</ToAddress1> <ToAddress2>5th floor</ToAddress2> <ToAddress3>6406 Flower Lane</ToAddress3> <ToCity>Greenbelt</ToCity> <ToProvince>Md</ToProvince> <ToCountry>Canada</ToCountry> <ToPostalCode>20770</ToPostalCode> <ToPOBoxFlag>N</ToPOBoxFlag> <ToPhone>5555555555</ToPhone> <ToFax>3012929999</ToFax> <ToEmail> [e-mail] </ToEmail> <ToCustomsReference>Import Reference</ToCustomsReference> <NonDeliveryOption>Return</NonDeliveryOption> <Container>MDFLATRATEBOX</Container> <ShippingContents> <ItemDetail> <Description>Description 1</Description> <Quantity>1</Quantity> <Value>1.11</Value> <NetPounds>1</NetPounds> <NetOunces>1</NetOunces> <HSTariffNumber>123456789123</HSTariffNumber> <CountryOfOrigin>Brazil</CountryOfOrigin> </ItemDetail> <ItemDetail> <Description>Description 2</Description> <Quantity>2</Quantity> <Value>2.22</Value> <NetPounds></NetPounds> <NetOunces>2</NetOunces> <HSTariffNumber>234567</HSTariffNumber> <CountryOfOrigin>Switzerland</CountryOfOrigin> </ItemDetail> <ItemDetail> <Description>Description 3</Description> <Quantity>3</Quantity> <Value>3.33</Value> <NetPounds></NetPounds> <NetOunces>3</NetOunces> <HSTariffNumber>123456789123</HSTariffNumber> <CountryOfOrigin>Brazil</CountryOfOrigin> </ItemDetail> <ItemDetail> <Description>Description 4</Description> <Quantity>4</Quantity> <Value>4.44</Value> <NetPounds></NetPounds> <NetOunces>4</NetOunces> <HSTariffNumber>234567234567</HSTariffNumber> <CountryOfOrigin>Switzerland</CountryOfOrigin> </ItemDetail> </ShippingContents> <Insured>N</Insured> <InsuredNumber>90123</InsuredNumber> <InsuredAmount>99.90</InsuredAmount> <GrossPounds>3</GrossPounds> <GrossOunces>8</GrossOunces> <ContentType>Documents</ContentType> <ContentTypeOther>and Other</ContentTypeOther> <Agreement>Y</Agreement> <Comments>PriorityMailIntl Comments</Comments> <LicenseNumber>Lic 123</LicenseNumber> <CertificateNumber>Cert456</CertificateNumber> <InvoiceNumber>Inv890</InvoiceNumber> <ImageType>TIF</ImageType> <ImageLayout>TRIMONEPERFILE</ImageLayout> <CustomerRefNo>Cust Ref123</CustomerRefNo> <POZipCode>20770</POZipCode> <LabelDate></LabelDate> <HoldForManifest>N</HoldForManifest> <EELPFC>802.11B</EELPFC> <CommercialPrice></CommercialPrice> <Size></Size> <Length></Length> <Width></Width> <Height></Height> <Girth></Girth> <ExtraServices> <ExtraService></ExtraService> </ExtraServices> </PriorityMailIntlCertifyRequest>"; string xml = web.DownloadString(url); if (xml.Contains("<Error>")) { int idx1 = xml.IndexOf("<Description>") + 13; int idx2 = xml.IndexOf("</Description>"); int l = xml.Length; string errDesc = xml.Substring(idx1, idx2 - idx1); package.Error = errDesc; //throw new USPSManagerException(errDesc); } else { int i1 = xml.IndexOf("<LabelImage>") + "<LabelImage>".Length; int i2 = xml.IndexOf("</LabelImage>"); package.ShippingLabel = Convert.FromBase64String(xml.Substring(i1, i2 - i1)); XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument(); xmldoc.LoadXml(xml); XmlNodeList nodeList = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("LabelImage"); string _DeliveryConfirmationNumber = string.Empty; foreach (XmlNode node in nodeList) { _DeliveryConfirmationNumber = node.InnerText; } package.ReferenceNumber = _DeliveryConfirmationNumber; } return package; } 

I updated the above code, but I get the problem as

Regarding the original problem:

4X6LABEL not available for DeliveryConfirmationV3 API. To use this option, select the API that supports it. (you must decide between PriorityMailIntl and eVS among others, depending on your need)

Your updated code:

For some reason, you are specifying <ImageType>TIF</ImageType> , but it looks like you are trying to use the returned data as a PDF . Try saving and opening them as a TIF to check your current results and try changing the requested ImageType to PDF to get the desired result.
