run jasper report using rest request in C# asp.net

I have been trying for days to get jasper reports integrated with my .net website. I have tried several ways including the soap and rest service as well as a custom library suggested in another post(http://freeze.ro/?q=node/7). I know I am close but I am fairly new to this and am still trying to understand how it all works. Most people suggest using the rest method and I found a good example on here but I am still getting an error Bad Request. This is my code for the rest request.

             WebClient httpClient = new WebClient();
        httpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
        httpClient.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

        // Build resourceDescriptor
        string requestXml;
        requestXml = "<resourceDescriptor name=\"Invoice\" wsType=\"reportUnit\" uriString=\"/reports/Nosreports/Invoice\"";
        requestXml += " isNew=\"false\">";

        requestXml += "   <parameter name=\"invoiceid\">1016242</parameter>n";
        requestXml += "</resourceDescriptor>";

        // Send PUT, the requestAllResult contains the above <report>...

        string requestAllResult = httpClient.UploadString("http://SRV9:8080/jasperserver/rest/report/reports/NOSreports/Invoice?RUN_OUTPUT_FORMAT=PDF", "PUT", requestXml);


        // Extract uuid and file
        System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
        doc.LoadXml(requestAllResult);
        XmlNode node = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("uuid");
        string uuid = node.InnerText;

        //Build GET URL
        string reportUrl = "http://SRV9:8080/jasperserver/rest/resources/report/";
        reportUrl += uuid;
        reportUrl += "?file=report";

        // Get report
        string report;
        report = httpClient.DownloadString(reportUrl);

Any help is greatly appreciated I have read and read and am ready to give up, I just hate to try and switch to a new reporting service at this point in my project.
