ADO.NET Provider for Sage 200

Build 24.0.8963

Connecting from Code

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Sage 200 implements a standard DbConnection object in Sage200Connection. You can also use the Sage200ConnectionStringBuilder to programmatically build, parse, and rebuild connection strings.

Creating Connection Objects

See Establishing a Connection for guides to defining the connection string and authenticating. Below is a typical invocation to create Sage200Connection objects.

C#

using (Sage200Connection connection =   
  new Sage200Connection("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK"))  
{  
  connection.Open();  
}

VB.NET

Using connection As New Sage200Connection("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK")
  connection.Open
End Using

Using Sage200ConnectionStringBuilder

The following code example shows how to use an ADO.NET connection string builder to parse a connection string.

C#

Sage200ConnectionStringBuilder builder =
  new Sage200ConnectionStringBuilder("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK");
  //Pass the connection string builder an existing connection string, and you can get and set any of the elements as strongly typed properties.
  builder.ConnectionString = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK";
  //Now that the connection string has been parsed,
  // you can work with individual items:
  builder.MyString = "new property";
  builder.MyBoolean = true;

  // You can refer to connection keys using strings, 
  // as well. 
  builder["Logfile"] = "test.log";
  builder["Verbosity"] = 5;

VB.NET

Dim builder As Sage200ConnectionStringBuilder = New Sage200ConnectionStringBuilder("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK")
'Pass the connection string builder an existing connection string, and you can get and set any of the elements using strongly typed properties.
builder.ConnectionString = InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK"
'Now that the connection string has been parsed,
' you can work with individual items:
builder.MyString = "new property"
builder.MyBoolean = True
  
' You can refer to connection keys using strings, 
' as well. 
builder("Logfile") = "test.log"
builder("Verbosity") = 5
