Connect to Bugzilla Data from PowerBuilder


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

This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Bugzilla 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 Bugzilla 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:

    Url=http://yourdomain/Bugzilla;APIKey=abc123;

    You can authenticate to your Bugzilla account using two parameters:

    • URL: The URL of your Bugzilla developer's page (the Home page).
    • ApiKey: API Keys can be generated from the Preferences -> API Keys section of your Bugzilla developer's page.

  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=Id}" Header="Id" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid>
  4. Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for Bugzilla 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.Bugzilla.BugzillaConnection conn conn = create System.Data.CData.Bugzilla.BugzillaConnection(connectionString) System.Data.CData.Bugzilla.BugzillaCommand comm comm = create System.Data.CData.Bugzilla.BugzillaCommand(command, conn) System.Data.DataTable table table = create System.Data.DataTable System.Data.CData.Bugzilla.BugzillaDataAdapter dataAdapter dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.Bugzilla.BugzillaDataAdapter(comm) dataAdapter.Fill(table) datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView

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