Sample in VB.Net (or else) for Windows Forms?

Question

Hi there,

I've been trying to use the samples in GitHub, however none of them are valid for the "old" Windows Forms...

Anyone, please can post a simple sample on how to do the basics?

I mean, signing-in, uploading, downloading...

Thanks a lot in advance for ant help!

The core code for signing in and accessing the REST APIs is identical for Windows Forms vs. WPF. Although we don't have a VB code sample, the C# sample on GitHub shows the necessary steps to sign in the user and call our APIs.

Dare,

Indeed I used that example and ported it to VB.Net. Works fine for sign-in purposes.

But, if possible, I need an example on how to

1) Create a folder

2) Upload / Download XML files

As far as I know, the example does not use any "client" or "session" as in the Live.dll

So, the examples are lacking how to create a session and a client.

Can you provide some help on the above topics?

I mean, using or not the Live.DLL.

Problem is I cannot find any way in WinForms to emulate the App.Config

Any help is much appreciated!

Any chance to get an example to perform basic operations from a desktop app?

Hi Dare,

 

I converted the Windows Phone Apps example from the Windows Live Learn to VB.net and receive an error on the client.GetCompleted line.

the error tells me:  Public Event GetCompleted(sender As Object, e As Microsoft.Live.LiveOperationCompletedEventArgs)' is an event, and cannot be called directly. Use a 'RaiseEvent' statement to raise an event. How to solve?

 

Imports System.Windows
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports Microsoft.Phone.Controls
Imports Microsoft.Live
Imports Microsoft.Live.Controls

Partial Public Class MainPage
    Inherits PhoneApplicationPage
    Private client As LiveConnectClient

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnSignin_SessionChanged(sender As Object, e As LiveConnectSessionChangedEventArgs)
        If e.Status = LiveConnectSessionStatus.Connected Then
            client = New LiveConnectClient(e.Session)
            infoTextBlock.Text = "Signed in."
 ---->      client.GetCompleted = New EventHandler(Of LiveOperationCompletedEventArgs)(AddressOf OnGetCompleted)
            client.GetAsync("me", Nothing)
        Else
            infoTextBlock.Text = "Not signed in."
            client = Nothing
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub OnGetCompleted(sender As Object, e As LiveOperationCompletedEventArgs)
        If e.[Error] Is Nothing Then
            If e.Result.ContainsKey("first_name") AndAlso e.Result.ContainsKey("last_name") Then
                If e.Result("first_name") IsNot Nothing AndAlso e.Result("last_name") IsNot Nothing Then
                    infoTextBlock.Text = "Hello, " & e.Result("first_name").ToString() & " " & e.Result("last_name").ToString() & "!"
                End If
            Else
                infoTextBlock.Text = "Hello, signed-in user!"
            End If
        Else
            infoTextBlock.Text = "Error calling API: " & e.[Error].ToString()
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

 

 

Answer 5

Shouldn't that be:

AddHandler client.GetCompleted, AddressOf OnGetComplete
