Connect to EventBrite Data from PowerBuilder
This article demonstrates how to access EventBrite data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for EventBrite.
This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for EventBrite 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 EventBrite to retrieve data.
- In a new WPF Window Application solution, add all the Visual Controls needed for the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:
Profile=C:\profiles\Eventbrite.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_token';
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the EventBrite Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\EventBrite.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for EventBrite (see below).
EventBrite API Profile Settings
To use authenticate to EventBrite, you can find your Personal Token in the API Keys page of your EventBrite Account. Set the APIKey to your personal token in the ProfileSettings connection property.
- 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=Id}" Header="Id" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> - Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for EventBrite 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.API.APIConnection conn
conn = create System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection(connectionString)
System.Data.CData.API.APICommand comm
comm = create System.Data.CData.API.APICommand(command, conn)
System.Data.DataTable table
table = create System.Data.DataTable
System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter dataAdapter
dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter(comm)
dataAdapter.Fill(table)
datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView
The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
