Overview

Namespaces

This sample requires the following namespaces:

using ExigoOData;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.Services.Client;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

Exigo API Authentication

This sample accesses the Exigo OData using the ExigoContext object:

     public ExigoContext Exigo
     {
          get
          {
               var context = new ExigoOData.ExigoContext(new Uri("http://api.exigo.com/4.0/" + exigoAPICompany + "/model"));
               context.IgnoreMissingProperties = true;
               var credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(exigoAPILoginName + ":" + exigoAPIPassword));
               context.SendingRequest +=
                   (object s, SendingRequestEventArgs e) =>
                       e.RequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + credentials);
               return context;
          }
     }
     

Saving the Uploaded Image

This sample stores the image selected into the Exigo API using OData.

         var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://api.exigo.com/4.0/" + exigoAPICompany + "/images" + (path.StartsWith("/") ? "" : "/") + path + "/" + filename);
          request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(exigoAPILoginName + ":" + exigoAPIPassword)));
          request.Method = "POST";
          request.ContentLength = contents.Length;
          var writer = request.GetRequestStream();
          writer.Write(contents, 0, contents.Length);
          writer.Close();
          var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
