Unable to "Create" through the API

I'm working through the Developer training and have been unable to "Create" when launching from Visual Studio. I've tried Blogs, News Items, and Events to no avail. It looks as though my content blocks create, but otherwise I get an error like:

You are not authorized to 'Create..

I'm using the trial on my laptop. I am logged into the Project Manager as an admin and lauched VS through the admin. I'm figuring it's a permissions thing but don't know how to troubleshoot.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Jason,

Can you tell me whether you are logged in the site while trying to execute the code? You can try suppressing the security checks prior to creating the content item by using the following code:

Yes, I am logged into the site when this is happening.

Looks like the SuppressSecurityChecks line is making it work.

Thanks so much.

It seems like what is happening is everytime I run from Visual Studio it logs me out of the SF administration area.

Hello Jason,

If you session has expired or start a new instance of the project, you will need to log in again, or use the previously provided snipped in order to run your code without the need of being signed in.
