Connect to SendGrid Data from PowerBuilder
This article demonstrates how to access SendGrid data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for SendGrid.
This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for SendGrid in PowerBuilder, showcasing the ease of use and compatibility of these standards-based controls across various platforms and development technologies that support Microsoft .NET, including Appeon PowerBuilder.
This article shows how to create a basic PowerBuilder application that uses the CData ADO.NET Provider for SendGrid to perform reads and writes.
- In a new WPF Window Application solution, add all the Visual Controls needed for the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:
User=admin;Password=abc123;
To make use of all the available features, provide the User and Password connection properties.
To connect with limited features, you can set the APIKey connection property instead. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to obtaining the API key.
- Add the DataGrid control from the .NET controls.
-
Configure the columns of the DataGrid control. Below are several columns from the Account table:
<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Margin="13,249,12,14" Name="datagrid1" TabIndex="70" ItemsSource="{Binding}"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="idColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=Id}" Header="Id" Width="SizeToHeader" /> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="nameColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=Name}" Header="Name" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> - Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for SendGrid assembly.
Connect the DataGrid
Once the visual elements have been configured, you can use standard ADO.NET objects like Connection, Command, and DataAdapter to populate a DataTable with the results of an SQL query:
System.Data.CData.SendGrid.SendGridConnection conn
conn = create System.Data.CData.SendGrid.SendGridConnection(connectionString)
System.Data.CData.SendGrid.SendGridCommand comm
comm = create System.Data.CData.SendGrid.SendGridCommand(command, conn)
System.Data.DataTable table
table = create System.Data.DataTable
System.Data.CData.SendGrid.SendGridDataAdapter dataAdapter
dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.SendGrid.SendGridDataAdapter(comm)
dataAdapter.Fill(table)
datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView
The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
