The CData ADO.NET Provider for Adobe Target implements two ADO.NET interfaces you can use to retrieve data from Adobe Target: AdobeTargetDataAdapter and AdobeTargetDataReader objects. Whereas AdobeTargetDataAdapter objects retrieve a single result set of all the data that matches a query, AdobeTargetDataReader objects fetch data in subset increments as needed.

Using the AdobeTargetDataAdapter

Use the adapter's Fill method to retrieve data from the data source. An empty DataTable instance is passed as an argument to the Fill method. When the method returns, the DataTable instance is populated with the queried data. Note that the AdobeTargetDataAdapter is slower than the AdobeTargetDataReader because the Fill method needs to retrieve all data from the data source before returning.

The following example selects the Id and Name columns of the Activities table:

C#

string connectionString = "OAuthClientId=myOauthClientId;OauthClientSecret=myOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=myCallbackURL;";

using (AdobeTargetConnection connection = new AdobeTargetConnection(connectionString)) {
  AdobeTargetDataAdapter dataAdapter = new AdobeTargetDataAdapter(
  "SELECT Id, Name FROM Activities", connection);

  DataTable table = new DataTable();
  dataAdapter.Fill(table);

  Console.WriteLine("Contents of Activities.");

  foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row["Id"], row["Name"]);
  }
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As String = "OAuthClientId=myOauthClientId;OauthClientSecret=myOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=myCallbackURL;"

Using connection As New AdobeTargetConnection(connectionString)
  Dim dataAdapter As New AdobeTargetDataAdapter("SELECT Id, Name FROM Activities", connection)

  Dim table As New DataTable()
  dataAdapter.Fill(table)

  Console.WriteLine("Contents of Activities.")

  For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row("Id"), row("Name"))
  Next
End Using
