It seems that I’ve gotten the final kinks out of the pingback/trackback code
It has been a longer journey and I wish to thank a few sites
Keyvan Nayyeri started my journey with a series of posts
http://nayyeri.net/how-to-send-trackback-and-pingback-requests-in-asp-net
http://nayyeri.net/implement-metaweblog-api-in-asp-net
http://nayyeri.net/how-to-implement-trackback-handler-in-asp-net
and Jim Wooley (of ThinqLinq) made the journey complete with his series of posts

I’m sorry for this being in english but the sites linked to are in english..
Bye Bye
