Winforms Connect API Example???
19 Aug 2017, 18:40


Hi all,

Does anyone have a working example (Visual Studio/GitHub) of a WinForms/Console app that has the connectivity using Connect API and the Trading/Account API.

I have some stuff already coded in WebForms using web requests to access the Trading/Account API's but need to know how to do this in WinForms without having to create a web request style connection. If this is possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Dear Trader,

Web requests are required for Accounts API. Trading API uses sockets. It is not a prerequisite to have a web application. Nevertheless, you can send the requests from a WinForms application as well. You can take the Connect API library found in our ASP.Net sample application and use in a WinForms project as well. 

Let us know if you need any further assistance on this.

Best Regards,
