    IPromptForCredentials prompter
)
public:

    array<String^>^ supportedAuthMethods, 
    IPromptForCredentials^ prompter
)
public function CatalogServiceAgent(
    url : String, 
    supportedAuthMethods : String[], 
    prompter : IPromptForCredentials
)

Parameters

  • url
    Type: System..::.String
    The URL of the Web service this agent will run against.
  • supportedAuthMethods
    Type: array<System..::.String>[]()[]

Remarks

The Catalog Agent serves to abstract data from the user interface. Additionally, it caches frequently changing data and batch-processes user interface queries.

Examples

This example shows how to initialize a ServiceAgent with a CredentialPrompter callback.

using System.Net;
using Microsoft.CommerceServer.Catalog;
using Microsoft.CommerceServer;

public ServiceAgent CreateCatalogAgent(string url)
{
  CatalogServiceAgent mktgAgent = new CatalogServiceAgent(
    url, ServiceAgent.DefaultAuthMethods, new MyCredentialPrompter
  return mktgAgent;
}

public class MyCredentialPrompter :
{
  public NetworkCredential PromptForCredentials(string url, string authType)
  {
    // Typically these values would be retrieved from a
    // dialog box presented to a user prompting them to
    // enter authentication credentials.
    string username = "theUser";
    string password = "pwd";
    string domain = "domain";
    NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(
      username, password, domain);
    return credentials;
  }
}
