Using the SDK without dependency on settings in web.config?

[sfmskywalker]

Is there a way to use the REST API SDK without requiring me to configure settings (ClientID, Secret & Endpoint) via web.config? I'd like to store these settings in a database instead (use case: I'm writing an Orchard CMS module).

I could obviously talk with the REST API directly via HttpClient, but it saves a lot of time being able to use your dot net SDK instead.

You can skip Web.Config altogether. All REST methods in the SDK have a overloaded variant that takes a APIContext object as a argument. See here for an example.

Here's a payment create call that uses web.config

Payment.Create(<access token>);

while here's a call that uses a dynamic config dictionary instead

Dictionary<string, string> config = new Dictionary<string, string>();
config.Add("mode", "sandbox");

APIContext context = new APIContext();
context.Config = config;
context.AccessToken = <accessToken>;

Payment.Create(context);

That's great. Thanks!

@werddomain APIContext can be found in the sdk-core-dotnet repository.

Here is an updated example of how to use it with a dynamic config dictionary:

var config = new Dictionary<string, string>();
config.Add("mode", "sandbox");

var context = new APIContext(<accessToken>);
context.Config = config;

Payment.Create(context);`
