A .NET library for v3 of the createsend API

createsend-dotnet

A .NET library which implements the complete functionality of v3 of the CreateSend API.

As well as the source code for the library, we provide a single merged assembly (createsend-dotnet.dll) as a download, which can be used directly as a reference in .NET projects, if you do not want to worry about building the solution yourself.

Installation

The easiest way of getting up and running:

1. Add the createsend-dotnet.dll assembly as a reference in your project

2. Add the following element to the appSettings section of your configuration file (replacing your_api_key with your actual API Key)

    <add key="api_key" value="your_api_key" />
   

Using NuGet:

1. Install-Package campaignmonitor-api

2. Edit the following element which is created in the appSettings section of your configuration file (replacing your_api_key with your actual API Key):

    <add key="api_key" value="your_api_key" />
   

Example

Example config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="api_key" value="98wqdu9qw8ud98quwd9q8wud98uq98wu"/>
  </appSettings>
  <startup><supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/></startup>
</configuration>

Example console app:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using createsend_dotnet;

namespace dotnet_api_client
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<BasicClient> clients = (List<BasicClient>)General.Clients();
            foreach (BasicClient c in clients)
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("ID: {0}; Name: {1}", c.Name, c.ClientID));
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
