Connect to Authorize.Net Data from PowerBuilder



This article demonstrates how to access Authorize.Net data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Authorize.Net.

This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Authorize.Net 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 Authorize.Net to retrieve data.

  1. In a new WPF Window Application solution, add all the Visual Controls needed for the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:

    LoginId=MyLoginId;TransactionKey=MyTransactionKey;

    You can obtain the necessary connection properties on the Security Settings -> General Settings page after logging into your Merchant Account.

    • UseSandbox: The Authorize.Net API to be used to process transactions. If you are using a production account, this property can be left blank. If you are using a developer test account, set this to 'TRUE'.
    • LoginID: The API login Id associated with your payment gateway account. This property is used to authenticate that you are authorized to submit website transactions. Note that this value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.
    • TransactionKey: The transaction key associated with your payment gateway account. This property is used to authenticate that you are authorized to submit website transactions.

  2. Add the DataGrid control from the .NET controls.
  3. 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=MarketType}" Header="MarketType" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid>
  4. Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for Authorize.Net 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.AuthorizeNet.AuthorizeNetConnection conn conn = create System.Data.CData.AuthorizeNet.AuthorizeNetConnection(connectionString) System.Data.CData.AuthorizeNet.AuthorizeNetCommand comm comm = create System.Data.CData.AuthorizeNet.AuthorizeNetCommand(command, conn) System.Data.DataTable table table = create System.Data.DataTable System.Data.CData.AuthorizeNet.AuthorizeNetDataAdapter dataAdapter dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.AuthorizeNet.AuthorizeNetDataAdapter(comm) dataAdapter.Fill(table) datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView

The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
