Forum Discussion
Hi kjm
I think this post is best on the specific API forum board.
Having said that, I have never really used it and have gone directly to the developers email which I haven't used since 1 Jul as we now need a code.
Further - I (and I cannot speak for any others) never used the SDKs - I did get the VB.NET version working - couldn't get the VC#.NET version working - though at the time I was a VB.NET person - but 2 years on am now converted to C#.NET but have no interest in using the SDK.
As such I developed in MSAccess VBA ALL my own access protocols and codes and have been using this perfectly since then.
Yes the HttpClient in VBA works perfectly - but once you step outside the MYOB SDK you have to then code everything yourself and all the security overlays - and that wasn't easy.
All I have spoken to did similar with their own favorite language.
As part of my rainy day projects is to revisit the MYOB SDK to see if I can now get **bleep** going

Hi The_Doc
thanks for your reply..Isnt this the API forums? ...that would explain some things ...lol
I've had the c# SDK working for a couple years now...no major problems..porting it to the cloud is not really an issue either..beside there being a bug in OAuthService whic gets the access token but have built my own classes to retrieve that. My main issue is I have to stop usng the SDK I wil need to rebuild that using RestSharp or HttpClientFactory and OData...not overly difficult just a little time consuming..
can you point me to the API forum I am meant to be using ? thanks :)

Hi kjm
Can't give exact API forum but it isn't very active hence why I don't go there - but I think from the following web you should find it somehow.
Yes you will have to write your own classes but having done that you don't need to worry about bugs in MYOB's SDK which are not singular.
As all my code is in VBA access - and it just works - creating my own classes in C# is another rainy day project.
I had envisaged writing my own specifically for MYOB and calling them from Access for the connection but again not needed. Just more work.
Access is just a whole lot more powerful as a database product than C# on its own - even though C# as a language is extra-ordinarily powerful - way more than Access but C3 just doesn't have the ability to handle local tables as per Access.
When C# then we will have a very powerful OOP language.
