This article demonstrates how to access Salesforce Pardot data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Salesforce Pardot.
This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Salesforce Pardot 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 Salesforce Pardot 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:
ApiVersion=4;User=YourUsername;Password=YourPassword;UserKey=YourUserKey;
Salesforce Pardot supports connecting through API Version, Username, Password and User Key.
- ApiVersion: The Salesforce Pardot API version which the provided account can access. Defaults to 4.
- User: The Username of the Salesforce Pardot account.
- Password: The Password of the Salesforce Pardot account.
- UserKey: The unique User Key for the Salesforce Pardot account. This key does not expire.
- IsDemoAccount (optional): Set to TRUE to connect to a demo account.
Accessing the Pardot User Key
The User Key of the current account may be accessed by going to Settings -> My Profile, under the API User Key row.
- 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 Salesforce Pardot 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.SalesforcePardot.SalesforcePardotConnection conn
conn = create System.Data.CData.SalesforcePardot.SalesforcePardotConnection(connectionString)
System.Data.CData.SalesforcePardot.SalesforcePardotCommand comm
comm = create System.Data.CData.SalesforcePardot.SalesforcePardotCommand(command, conn)
System.Data.DataTable table
table = create System.Data.DataTable
System.Data.CData.SalesforcePardot.SalesforcePardotDataAdapter dataAdapter
dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.SalesforcePardot.SalesforcePardotDataAdapter(comm)
dataAdapter.Fill(table)
datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView
The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
