Hello,
I'm trying to create a note and add some simple text to its "body" (content).
I'd like to know if the c# library presents any way of doing this without actually creating an ENML string.

I found that the opposite operation - getting the note content as a text actually exists in some way but I couldn't find a way of creating one.

As best I can tell, there is no opposite function. Retrieving a note's search text (the function you're referring to) is a destructive operation; it removes the note's XHTML wrapper, plus possibly any OCR'ed content, returning the note content that may be searched. But createNote seems to require you to supply the XHTML wrapper for the note content. I'd suggest that you create a simple note, figure out what the minimal XHTML wrapper is, and then write a utility function that takes simple text, wraps it with the minimal XHTML wrapper, and submit that to createNote.

To echo what @jefito's saying it's pretty simple to figure out what the wrapper should be. More fun is working out what's allowed inside. And even that's well documented. I've done this in languages other than C# though I'm afraid what I have isn't going to be in any fit state to share.

Thanks.
I've just done ae jefito suggested.
Actually I've used the ENML editor that was posted here in the forum to see how the most simple note looks like and I've copied it.

Well done. I didn't think to reference the ENML Editor; I usually do so when it seems appropriate.
