Connecting from Code
The CData ADO.NET Provider for ADP implements a standard DbConnection object in ADPConnection. You can also use the ADPConnectionStringBuilder 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 ADPConnection objects.
C#
using (ADPConnection connection =
new ADPConnection("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=YourClientId;OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret;SSLClientCert='c:\\cert.pfx';SSLClientCertPassword='admin@123'"))
{
connection.Open();
}
VB.NET
Using connection As New ADPConnection("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=YourClientId;OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret;SSLClientCert='c:\\cert.pfx';SSLClientCertPassword='admin@123'")
connection.Open
End Using
Using ADPConnectionStringBuilder
The following code example shows how to use an ADO.NET connection string builder to parse a connection string.
C#
ADPConnectionStringBuilder builder =
new ADPConnectionStringBuilder("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=YourClientId;OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret;SSLClientCert='c:\\cert.pfx';SSLClientCertPassword='admin@123'");
//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;OAuthClientId=YourClientId;OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret;SSLClientCert='c:\\cert.pfx';SSLClientCertPassword='admin@123'";
//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 ADPConnectionStringBuilder = New ADPConnectionStringBuilder("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=YourClientId;OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret;SSLClientCert='c:\\cert.pfx';SSLClientCertPassword='admin@123'")
'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;OAuthClientId=YourClientId;OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret;SSLClientCert='c:\\cert.pfx';SSLClientCertPassword='admin@123'"
'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
