Connect to Twilio Data from PowerBuilder
This article demonstrates how to access Twilio data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Twilio.
This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Twilio 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 Twilio 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:
AccountSid=MyAccountSid;AuthToken=MyAuthToken;
Use the AccountSid and AuthToken connection properties to access data from your account. You obtain your live credentials on your Twilio account dashboard. Click Account -> Account Settings to obtain your test credentials.
- 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=Sid}" Header="Sid" Width="SizeToHeader" /> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="nameColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=To}" Header="To" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> - Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for Twilio 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.Twilio.TwilioConnection conn
conn = create System.Data.CData.Twilio.TwilioConnection(connectionString)
System.Data.CData.Twilio.TwilioCommand comm
comm = create System.Data.CData.Twilio.TwilioCommand(command, conn)
System.Data.DataTable table
table = create System.Data.DataTable
System.Data.CData.Twilio.TwilioDataAdapter dataAdapter
dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.Twilio.TwilioDataAdapter(comm)
dataAdapter.Fill(table)
datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView
The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
