Option Expiration date specification ignored in Options Download

1. Use the enclosed .CS file to attempt to download multiple option expirations

- Displays options for the same month, multiple times.

Do you have other informations?
- Project file attached
- First "OUTPUT" column is option symbol.
- Should change name based on option expiration.
- Ex: TLT110729xxx..., TLT110820xxx..., TLT110917...

What do I need to be able to build in VS or MonoDevelop?  I wanted to fix/debug 
this myself, but I'm unable to build from source. 

Both complain about errors in syntax/get/set properties and other places.

I will check this issue.
You'll need VS2010 for that syntax. In VS2010 you can just write:

Puplic Property TestProperty as String = "Test"

That will automatically declare a property and a variable as string and will 
initialize it with a value; without a set/get.
That's not possible in VS2008 (and obviously in MonoDevelop).

Hi,
the problem was the expiration date parameter format. It only accept the format 
[yyyy-mm]. Actually, when you set a date with a month less than 10 (october) 
the passed format is [yyyy-m]. So, actually only october, november and december 
returns correct results. For other months it will return the newest month 
results.
The fix will be released with next version.

If you don't want to wait, here the (very simple) solution:
1) Go to QuoteOptionsDownload.DownloadUrl function
2) Replace this:
[...]" AND expiration=""{0}-{1}"""[...]
with this:
[...]" AND expiration=""{0}-{1:00}"""[...]
3) Compile
