Getting started with the WSDL API

Hi,

 

I'm looking into intergration from our application with SalesForce - we need functionality like the ability to import/export users etc, for a number of our clients.

 

Is there a test environment that we can use while in development, so that we can fire api calls against a "dummy" account and test import/export?

 

Many thanks

 

Matt

You can use the Sandbox Environment to perform all the Test API Calls

You can use a developer edition, click join now in the top right hand corner.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure where to begin though. I've created a developer account (DE). I don't have access to any existing salesforce accounts at the moment, but I want to create some code that will for example add a new salesforce user.

 

How can I do this in the developer environment? Do I need to create an app? And what credentials should I pass to the login method:

 

binding = new SforceService();

loginResult = binding.login(un, pw); // What un and pw should I be passing???

 

Thanks again

 

Matt

Hi Matt,

 

and welcome to the community.

 

You can have a look at this article, it is a good introduction to .NET integration via the WSDL API.

 

http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Integrating_Force.com_with_Microsoft_.NET

 

If you org requires the use of security keys/tokens, you need to append the security token to the password in the login request. 

 

loginResult = binding.login(un, pw + securityToken);
