Error querying the Rally API - DynamicJsonObject does not contain a definition for 'Errors'

I'm trying to query the search API of Rally, here is my c# code:

var searchRequest = new Request()
{
    ArtifactName = "search",
    Limit = 25,
    Project = "/project/" + CurrentProject,
    ProjectScopeDown = true,
    ProjectScopeUp = true,
    PageSize = 25,

    Fetch = new List<string>() { "true" }
};

searchRequest.AddParameter("keywords", "foo");
QueryResult queryTaskResult = api.Query(searchRequest);

this works as expected and returns result, however i want to pass a parameter of compact=true, which will return slightly different data (mainly a standard web link to the item).

var searchRequest = new Request()
{
    ArtifactName = "search",
    Limit = 25,
    Project = "/project/" + CurrentProject,
    ProjectScopeDown = true,
    ProjectScopeUp = true,
    PageSize = 25,

    Fetch = new List<string>() { "true" }
};

searchRequest.AddParameter("keywords", "foo");
///this is the new item
searchRequest.AddParameter("compact", "true");
QueryResult queryTaskResult = api.Query(searchRequest);

However when i fire this request I get the following error

Rally.RestApi.Json.DynamicJsonObject' does not contain a definition for 'Errors'

However when I try to do this request in the browser it works fine.

Any help as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!

Why do you want to do this?

What I want to do is build up a link to the WEB view of the object, eg: https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/{CurrentProject}d/detail/{ObjectType}/{ObjectId}

I already know the CurrentProject, I need to know the ObjectType and the ObjectId

I have found, when i pass compact=true, the _ref provides this, '/defect/1234567' but this throws an exception.

If I do not pass compact=true, the _ref returns the API reference 'https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.x/defect/1234567'

Unfortunately the compact functionality was added to WSAPI after the .NET toolkit was created and we've never updated it to support it.

I filed a github issue here: https://github.com/RallyTools/RallyRestToolkitFor.NET/issues/37

compact=true was mainly a performance optimization to reduce the size of responses in large result sets.

Other than performance is there a reason you'd like to use it?
