Using .NET with IDrive Cloud

This guide will help you connect a .NET application to IDrive Cloud using AWS SDK. Follow the steps below and you should be able to list a bucket in IDrive Cloud via .NET application using AWS SDK.

1. Install Visual Studio from here.

2. Create a new Project from ‘File’ =>‘New’ =>‘Project’.

   
   

3. Choose a Console app (.NETFramework) project.

Provide a project name, e.g. ListingBucketApplication to configure a new project for Console Application (C#).

4. Go to 'Project' and click ‘Manage NuGet Packages’ after creating the project successfully.

   
   

5. Search for AWS under the 'Browse' tab. A list of all AWS SDKs will be displayed. For using the required AWS SDK with IDrive Cloud S3, you will need to install the following packages:

   
   
   • AWSSDK.Core
   • AWSSDK.S3



6. Verify the installed packages under the ‘Installed’ tab.

7. Below is a sample code to list a bucket:

   Note:

   • Replace the 'program.cs' code with the below-given code.
   • Replace the 'accessKEY' and 'secretAccesskey' in the below-codes with your IDrive Cloud S3 'ACCESS KEY' and 'SECRET'.

   using Amazon;
   using Amazon.S3;
   using Amazon.S3.Model;
   using System;
   using System.IO;
   using System.Threading.Tasks;
   namespace Amazon.DocSamples.S3
   {
   	class ListBucketAPITest
   	{
   		private const string bucketName = "test-bucket";
   		private static IAmazonS3 s3Client;
   		public static void Main()
   		{
   			AmazonS3Config config = new AmazonS3Config();
   			config.ServiceURL = "https://s3.us-west-1.idrivecloud.io";
   			config.AuthenticationRegion = "us-east-1";
   			config.ForcePathStyle = true;
   			config.SignatureVersion = "2";
   			s3Client = new AmazonS3Client("accessKEY", "secretAccesskey", config);
   			ListingObjectsAsync().Wait();
   		}
   		static async Task ListingObjectsAsync()
   		{
   			try
   			{
   				ListObjectsV2Request request = new ListObjectsV2Request
   				{
   					BucketName = bucketName,
   					MaxKeys = 10
   				};
   				ListObjectsV2Response response;
   				do
   				{
   					response = await s3Client.ListObjectsV2Async(request);
   					// Process the response.
   					foreach (S3Object entry in response.S3Objects)
   					{
   						Console.WriteLine("key = {0} size = {1}",
   							entry.Key, entry.Size);
   					}
   					Console.WriteLine("Next Continuation Token: {0}", response.NextContinuationToken);
   					request.ContinuationToken = response.NextContinuationToken;
   				} while (response.IsTruncated);
   			}
   			catch (AmazonS3Exception amazonS3Exception)
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("S3 error occurred. Exception: " + amazonS3Exception.ToString());
   				Console.ReadKey();
   			}
   			catch (Exception e)
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.ToString());
   				Console.ReadKey();
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }
   				  

   
   
   

8. Build the solution and run 'ListingBucketApplication'.
