Skype API connection refused

Question

I am trying to make a call programmatically through Skype. Skype is installed in my PC but when I try to make the call through Skype API with C# then every time I get an exception:

Connection refused

I am not able to fix it. I am trying since a long time to make a call but every time I get the same error.

Here is code snippet by which I am using to make call:

Skype skype;
skype = new SKYPE4COMLib.Skype();
string SkypeID = "+447851359661";
Call call = skype.PlaceCall(SkypeID);
do
{
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
} while (call.Status != TCallStatus.clsInProgress);

I guess I am definitely missing something in the code. Please guide me. Thanks

Where did you get the code? Are you following the Skype API documentation? Seems odd that there isn't any sort of authentication happening here. — Chris Ballard, Mar 13 '14 at 15:00

you don't log to skype with your account or connect to skype network — giammin, Mar 13 '14 at 15:04

Thomas is my friend. he first login to skype then he run his c# program. so no need to login to skype programmatically. when he is running his c# wrap then he is getting the same error again & again. the error is "connection refused" — Mou, Mar 13 '14 at 18:12

here is the code

using SKYPE4COMLib;

Skype skype;
            try
            {
                skype = new SKYPE4COMLib.Skype();
                if (!skype.Client.IsRunning)
                {
                    skype.Client.Start(true, true);
                }
                //skype.Attach(8, true);
                Call call = skype.PlaceCall(textBox1.Text);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }

before run the code follow this step http://synqit.com/skype-refused . hope help.

Error during Skype communication: Connection refused. That error means that that Skype denied access to Synqit. To allow Synqit to access Skype, select Skype menu Tools | Options... | Advanced | Manage other programs' access to Skype | find Syniqt in appeared list and click Change. Connection Refused

Start Synqit import once more and allow Synqit to access Skype.

Do you know where to find this on the latest skype version for mac? Can't find it there :-( — d4Rk, Jun 13 '16 at 12:43
