C# Google Calendar

Everything is already setup on the google calendar api (not sure if i configure correctly or i missed something out)
I created a c# console application,that writes an appointment to google calendar.
What i want to achieve is that , i want to get all the user's or subscriber who subscribe to my app, so what i can write
on there calendar if there is an event.
What configuration do i need?

That's actually a multi-domain problem.
Some questions to consider:
What calender is it? A public one?
How do they subscribe with your console?
What happens when the software shuts down, crashes, etc?
Do you need to know the event after it was written to the calendars?
If not, do new subscriber get previously added calender entries?
Other than that, you should have a look at Webclient. Then we have here the reference for the Google Calendar API. The main request method you're searching is this one: Events Insert. With that, we can craft our own inseration variant.
```
private readonly List<string> _calendarIDs;
/* lets assume you imported webrequests and you're going to write a method
* Further we assume, you have a List of calendars as object attribute
*/
public void InsertEntry(DateTime start, DateTime end,
string title, string description) {
using(var client = new WebClient()) {
var epochTicks = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
var values = new NameValueCollection();
values["attachements[].fileUrl"] = "";
values["attendees[].email"] = "";
values["end.date"] = end.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
values["end.dateTime"] = (end - epoch).Seconds;
values["reminders.overrides[].minutes"] = 0;
values["start.date"] = start.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
values["start.dateTime"] = (start - epoch).Seconds;
values["summary"] = title; // This is the calendar entrys title
values["description"] = description;
foreach(string calendarID in _calendarIDs) {
var endpoint = String.Format("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{0}/events", calendarID)
var response = client.UploadValues(endpoint, values);
var responseString = Encoding.Default.GetString(response);
}
}
This is a minimal example and the api has a lot of endpoints and parameter. You should have a deep look into it, maybe you find more useful parameter.

Below is the sample code,
GoogleCalendarUtils utils = new GoogleCalendarUtils();
ArrayList months = /* the list of months*/;
// Update the content window.
foreach( ThistleEventMonth month in months )
{
foreach( ThistleEvent thistleEvent in month.ThistleEvents )
{
utils.InsertEntry( thistleEvent );
}
}

NetSuite custom record search through suiteTalk using C#

We are having an issue with searching a custom record through SuiteTalk. Below is a sample of what we are calling. The issue we are having is in trying to set up the search using the internalId of the record. The issue here lies in in our initial development account the internal id of this custom record is 482 but when we deployed it through the our bundle the record was assigned with the internal Id of 314. It would stand to reason that this internal id is not static in a site per site install so we wondered what property to set up to reference the custom record. When we made the record we assigned its “scriptId’ to be 'customrecord_myCustomRecord' but through suitetalk we do not have a “scriptId”. What is the best way for us to allow for this code to work in all environments and not a specific one? And if so, could you give an example of how it might be used.
Code (C#) that we are attempting to make the call from. We are using the 2013.2 endpoints at this time.
private SearchResult NetSuite_getPackageContentsCustomRecord(string sParentRef)
{
List<object> PackageSearchResults = new List<object>();
CustomRecord custRec = new CustomRecord();
CustomRecordSearch customRecordSearch = new CustomRecordSearch();
SearchMultiSelectCustomField searchFilter1 = new SearchMultiSelectCustomField();
searchFilter1.internalId = "customrecord_myCustomRecord_sublist";
searchFilter1.#operator = SearchMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf;
searchFilter1.operatorSpecified = true;
ListOrRecordRef lRecordRef = new ListOrRecordRef();
lRecordRef.internalId = sParentRef;
searchFilter1.searchValue = new ListOrRecordRef[] { lRecordRef };
CustomRecordSearchBasic customRecordBasic = new CustomRecordSearchBasic();
customRecordBasic.recType = new RecordRef();
customRecordBasic.recType.internalId = "314"; // "482"; //THIS LINE IS GIVING US THE TROUBLE
//customRecordBasic.recType.name = "customrecord_myCustomRecord";
customRecordBasic.customFieldList = new SearchCustomField[] { searchFilter1 };
customRecordSearch.basic = customRecordBasic;
// Search for the customer entity
SearchResult results = _service.search(customRecordSearch);
return results;
}

I searched all over for a solution to avoid hardcoding internalId's. Even NetSuite support failed to give me a solution. Finally I stumbled upon a solution in NetSuite's knowledgebase, getCustomizationId.
This returns the internalId, scriptId and name for all customRecord's (or customRecordType's in NetSuite terms! Which is what made it hard to find.)
public string GetCustomizationId(string scriptId)
{
// Perform getCustomizationId on custom record type
CustomizationType ct = new CustomizationType();
ct.getCustomizationTypeSpecified = true;
ct.getCustomizationType = GetCustomizationType.customRecordType;
// Retrieve active custom record type IDs. The includeInactives param is set to false.
GetCustomizationIdResult getCustIdResult = _service.getCustomizationId(ct, false);
foreach (var customizationRef in getCustIdResult.customizationRefList)
{
if (customizationRef.scriptId == scriptId) return customizationRef.internalId;
}
return null;
}

you can make the internalid as an external property so that you can change it according to environment.
The internalId will be changed only when you install first time into an environment. when you deploy it into that environment, the internalid will not change with the future deployments unless you choose Add/Rename option during deployment.

How to get all the users in Zendesk

I have created users using CreateOrUpdateUser() method but i was unable to fetch all the users from zendesk. I am getting null for "oListUser" also I tried to fetch user list for Organization but for that also i am getting null.Any help would be appreciated. There is no issue with the connection.
Code:
ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi oZen = new ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi("https://waresolution.zendesk.com", "j#se.com", "87ggh76IO");
List<User> oListUser = oZen.GetUsers();
User oUsers = new ZenDeskApi.Model.User();
oUsers.Email = "r#se.com";
oUsers.IsVerified = true;
oUsers.Name = "R r";
oUsers..........// Other properties
int a = oZen.CreateOrUpdateUser(oUsers);
List<Organization> oOrg = oZen.GetOgranizations();
foreach (var orgItem in oOrg)
{
int orgId = orgItem.Id;
}

Take a look at this zendesk api client for C#.net on Github. See the JUSTEAT blog for more details. You can use this client to get all users like this:
Create a client:
IZendeskClient client = new ZendeskClient(
new Uri("my-zendesk-api-host-endpoint"),
"my-zendesk-username",
"my-zendesk-token"
);
Then you can use the Search resource to search all users:
var result = client.Search.Find(new ZendeskQuery<User>().WithCustomFilter("y", "x"));
You can download the code as a Nuget here

I am using ZendeskApi_v2 and I am able to get all the users using api as follows:
var userList = api.Users.GetAllUsers();
Here userList is GroupUserReponse.I doubt whether we have any method GetUsers().Atleast its not available in the version which I am using.Once you get the response you can iterate through it.
I see that this question is related to ZenDeskApi which is available at this location:
https://github.com/eneifert/ZenDeskApi.
Sorry,I have not worked on it and tried this.

Not sure if you got a response to this but for anyone else looking for info on the API:
Try instead of:
ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi oZen = new ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi("https://waresolution.zendesk.com", "j#se.com", "87ggh76IO");
ZenDeskApi.ZenDeskApi oZen = new ZenDeskApi("https://waresolution.zendesk.com", "j#se.com", "87ggh76IO");
Also, to get a paginated list of 100 users instead of the group response, just call:
var zendeskUsers = oZen.Users.GetAllUsers().Users;

How can I get the LastRunTime for a report using the Business Objects Web Services SDK?

I'm using the Business Objects Web Services SDK to access our Business Objects data. I've successfully got a list of reports, and from that found the LastSuccessfulInstance of a report that has been previously run. However, I can't seem to get the LastRunTime to be populated. When I do a query with no attributes specified it comes back as not set, and I get the same result when I ask for that attribute in particular. I've looked at the report itself and the instance and they both don't have this information. Does anyone know where I can get it from?
Here's my code (hacked from one of SAP's demos):
var sessConnUrl = serviceUrl + "/session";
var boConnection = new BusinessObjects.DSWS.Connection(sessConnUrl);
var boSession = new Session(boConnection);
// Setup the Enterprise Credentials used to login to the Enterprise System
var boEnterpriseCredential = new EnterpriseCredential
{
Domain = cmsname,
Login = username,
Password = password,
AuthType = authType
};
// Login to the Enterprise System and retrieve the SessionInfo
boSession.Login(boEnterpriseCredential);
/************************** DISPLAY INBOX OBJECTS *************************/
// Retrieve the BIPlatform Service so it can be used to add the USER
var biPlatformUrl = boSession.GetAssociatedServicesURL("BIPlatform");
var boBiPlatform = BIPlatform.GetInstance(boSession, biPlatformUrl[0]);
// Specify the query used to retrieve the inbox objects
// NOTE: Adding a "/" at the end of the query indicates that we want to
// retrieve the all the objects located directly under the inbox.
// Without the "/" Path operator, the inbox itself would be returned.
const string query = "path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/Reports/";
// Execute the query and retrieve the reports objects
var boResponseHolder = boBiPlatform.Get(query, null);
var boInfoObjects = boResponseHolder.InfoObjects.InfoObject;
// If the reports contains a list of objects, loop through and display them
if (boInfoObjects != null)
{
// Go through and display the list of documents
foreach (var boInfoObject in boInfoObjects)
{
var report = boInfoObject as Webi;
if (report == null)
continue;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(report.LastSuccessfulInstanceCUID))
{
var instanceQuery = "cuid://<" + report.LastSuccessfulInstanceCUID + ">";
var instanceResponseHolder = boBiPlatform.Get(instanceQuery, null);
var instance = instanceResponseHolder.InfoObjects.InfoObject[0];
}
}
}
Both report.LastRunTimeSpecified and instance.LastRunTimeSpecified are false and both LastRunTime are 01\01\0001, but I can see a last run time in the Web Intelligence UI.

With a little help from Ted Ueda at SAP support I figured it out. Not all the properties are populated by default you need to append #* to the query string to get everything, i.e. change the line:
const string query = "path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/Reports/";
to:
const string query = "path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/Reports/#*";

Open Lotus Notes database by Replica ID in C#

I created a program a while ago using C# that does some automation for a completely different program, but found that I need to access data from a Lotus Notes database. The only problem is, I can only seem to figure out how to open the database by the server's name (using session.GetDatabase())... I can't figure out how to open it by Replica ID. Does anyone know how I would go about that? (I don't want my program going down every time the server changes.)
public static string[] GetLotusNotesHelpTickets()
{
NotesSession session = new NotesSession();
session.Initialize(Password);
// 85256B45:000EE057 = NTNOTES1A Server Replica ID
NotesDatabase database = session.GetDatabase("NTNOTES1A", "is/gs/gshd.nsf", false);
string SearchFormula = string.Concat("Form = \"Call Ticket\""
, " & GroupAssignedTo = \"Business Systems\""
, " & CallStatus = \"Open\"");
NotesDocumentCollection collection = database.Search(SearchFormula, null, 0);
NotesDocument document = collection.GetFirstDocument();
string[] ticketList = new string[collection.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < collection.Count; ++i)
{
ticketList[i] = ((object[])(document.GetItemValue("TicketNumber")))[0].ToString();
document = collection.GetNextDocument(document);
}
document = null;
collection = null;
database = null;
session = null;
return ticketList;
}
This code is working fine, but if the server changed from NTNOTES1A, then nothing is going to work anymore.

you'll need to use the notesDbDirectory.OpenDatabaseByReplicaID(rid$) method. To get the NotesDbDirectory, you can use the getDbDirectory method of the session
Set notesDbDirectory = notesSession.GetDbDirectory( serverName$ )
So you can use the code below to get a database by replicaID.
public static string[] GetLotusNotesHelpTickets()
{
NotesSession session = new NotesSession();
session.Initialize(Password);
Set notesDBDirectory = session.GetDbDirectory("NTNOTES1A")
// 85256B45:000EE057 = NTNOTES1A Server Replica ID
NotesDatabase database = notesDBDirectory.OpenDatabaseByReplicaID("85256B45:000EE057")
string SearchFormula = string.Concat("Form = \"Call Ticket\""
, " & GroupAssignedTo = \"Business Systems\""
, " & CallStatus = \"Open\"");
NotesDocumentCollection collection = database.Search(SearchFormula, null, 0);
NotesDocument document = collection.GetFirstDocument();
string[] ticketList = new string[collection.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < collection.Count; ++i)
{
ticketList[i] = ((object[])(document.GetItemValue("TicketNumber")))[0].ToString();
document = collection.GetNextDocument(document);
}
document = null;
collection = null;
database = null;
session = null;
return ticketList;
}
Unfortunately, this only solves half of your problem. I know you'd rather just tell Notes to fetch the database with a particular replicaID from the server closest to the client, just like the Notes Client does when you click on a DBLink or Bookmark. However, there is (or appears to be) no way to do that using the Notes APIs.
My suggestion is to either loop through a hard-coded list of potential servers by name, and check to see if the database is found (the OpenDatabaseByReplicaID method returns ERR_SYS_FILE_NOT_FOUND (error 0FA3) if the database is not found). If that's not a good option, perhaps you can easily expose the servername in an admin menu of your app so it can be changed easily if the server name changes at some point.

set database = new NotesDatabase("")
call database.OpenByReplicaID("repid")
