You can use the SELECT INTO statement to export formatted data to a file.

Data Export with an SQL Query

The following query exports data into a file formatted in comma-separated values (CSV):

SELECT VisibilityCode, Comment INTO [csv://Analytics.txt] FROM [Analytics] WHERE EntityId = '238'

You can specify other formats in the file URI. The possible delimiters are tab, semicolon, and comma with the default being a comma. The following example exports tab-separated values:

SELECT VisibilityCode, Comment INTO [csv://Analytics.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Analytics] WHERE EntityId = '238'

C#

String connectionString = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;";

using (LinkedInAdsConnection connection = new LinkedInAdsConnection(connectionString)) {
  LinkedInAdsCommand cmd = new LinkedInAdsCommand("SELECT VisibilityCode, Comment INTO [csv://Analytics.txt] FROM [Analytics] WHERE EntityId = '238' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;" 

Using connection As New LinkedInAdsConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New LinkedInAdsCommand("SELECT VisibilityCode, Comment INTO [csv://Analytics.txt] FROM [Analytics] WHERE EntityId = '238'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using

You can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:

C#

String connectionString = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;";

using (LinkedInAdsConnection connection = new LinkedInAdsConnection(connectionString)) {
  LinkedInAdsCommand cmd = new LinkedInAdsCommand("SELECT * INTO [Analytics] IN [csv://filename=c:/Analytics.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Analytics] WHERE EntityId = '238'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;" 

Using connection As New LinkedInAdsConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New LinkedInAdsCommand("SELECT * INTO [Analytics] IN [csv://filename=c:/Analytics.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Analytics] WHERE EntityId = '238'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
