Out of interest I did try to find if Betfair had a test username but couldn't find anything.
I may have a play with it later.

Client:Incorrect number of parameters supplied for SOAP request HRESULT=0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect

>Ah OK. I see that. So there's no way to work out (without using a known valid login) whether the LoginErrorEnum 'INVALID_USERNAME_OR_PASSWORD' is an accurate return (i.e. supplied info was truly invalid) or being returned for some other reason. Poor implementation!
