Google Analytics Reporting, GoogleAnalyticsSDK, and a winforms app

In a simple windows forms application (1 form with 2 buttons) I am using the NuGet package GoogleAnalyticsSDK with the "other platform" instructions.

The code appears to be working just fine, I can click a button and see the hot land on the google real time dashboard for that application. I cannot, however, find that hit again, later.

How do I use GA to "find" that hit. Maybe a custom report or something like that? All of the default reports are saying "There is no data for this view".

I am sending the following events via that SDK:

//send the main form
googleTracker.SendView("Main Form");

//send the button click
googleTracker.SendEvent("form_clicks", "button1_click", "Asked for submit", 0L);

In the GA real time view for screens and events, I see the "Main Form" view event hit, I also see the "button1_click" events that I send in. However I cannot find that view or event record later!

It turns out that you have to wait 24 hours or so to see your data show up in the other reports on GA. I am a noob, so it makes sense that I could not see that stuff.

Note that some reports can have their date ranges adjusted to include today, so if you give that a shot, you might see some of the data sooner - as it is processed on the GA side.
