Connecting from Code
The CData ADO.NET Provider for Reckon Accounts Hosted implements a standard DbConnection object in ReckonAccountsHostedConnection. You can also use the ReckonAccountsHostedConnectionStringBuilder 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 ReckonAccountsHostedConnection objects.
C#
using (ReckonAccountsHostedConnection connection =
new ReckonAccountsHostedConnection("SubscriptionKey=test;CountryVersion=2021.R2.AU;CompanyFile=Q:/CData Software.QBW;User=test;Password=test;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientID;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;"))
{
connection.Open();
}
VB.NET
Using connection As New ReckonAccountsHostedConnection("SubscriptionKey=test;CountryVersion=2021.R2.AU;CompanyFile=Q:/CData Software.QBW;User=test;Password=test;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientID;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;")
connection.Open
End Using
Using ReckonAccountsHostedConnectionStringBuilder
The following code example shows how to use an ADO.NET connection string builder to parse a connection string.
C#
ReckonAccountsHostedConnectionStringBuilder builder =
new ReckonAccountsHostedConnectionStringBuilder("SubscriptionKey=test;CountryVersion=2021.R2.AU;CompanyFile=Q:/CData Software.QBW;User=test;Password=test;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientID;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;");
//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 = "SubscriptionKey=test;CountryVersion=2021.R2.AU;CompanyFile=Q:/CData Software.QBW;User=test;Password=test;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientID;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;";
//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 ReckonAccountsHostedConnectionStringBuilder = New ReckonAccountsHostedConnectionStringBuilder("SubscriptionKey=test;CountryVersion=2021.R2.AU;CompanyFile=Q:/CData Software.QBW;User=test;Password=test;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientID;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;")
'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 = SubscriptionKey=test;CountryVersion=2021.R2.AU;CompanyFile=Q:/CData Software.QBW;User=test;Password=test;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientID;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;"
'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
