Access OneDrive

[tmontney]

I can't find anything on VB.NET and OneDrive. Is it possible to download and delete files on OneDrive in VB.NET?

 

[JohnH]

Very difficult, but yes. The developer information is here: OneDrive Dev Center - OneDrive API, Pickers and Savers

 

[tmontney]

That link only provides C#. I guess I'll need to make my own interface.

"OneDrive SDK for CSharp" can be used in any .Net (4.5) application.

 

[tmontney]

The name "OneDrive SDK for C#" is a bit misleading. I didn't notice it said "for .NET 4.5.1", which would've told me it works across the board.

I'm confused by the Redirect URI parameter. I want to get an authorization code to access the user's drive, but I don't see how redirection fits into it.

 

[JohnH]

Did you read this page about redirect_uri parameter? OneDrive Dev Center - OneDrive authentication and sign-in

 

[tmontney]

Yes. I know it redirects on authentication, but I was confused on how to incorporate a required parameter I didn't need. I'm creating a OneDrive desktop app that runs in the background after sign-on. I think I have it figured out.

As the page says you have to use the given url for desktop application. You also must configure the app in MS account dev center by selecting 'yes' for mobile/desktop app.
