I'm new to the forum so forgive me if this is an inappropriate place for this question.

I'm a long-time programmer and I'm using the .NET API to build a third-party tool/game. The functionality hinges on whether or not I can retrieve the unique name of an item (container, ship, corpse, etc.). It is my understanding that EveApi.ConvertIDsToNames will yield a dictionary containing the name of the items whose unique IDs you supply. Unfortunately, however; when I supply it with a list of correct ItemIDs for the given list of items, the dictionary yielded is always empty.

This is a rather specific problem and as such there is very little documentation on the subject. I'd be grateful to know what the function is used for if not this purpose, or if it is indeed used in this way; what I might be doing incorrectly.

Regards, Kain.

Thanks
