Namespace: DevExpress.DataAccess.Json

Assembly: DevExpress.DataAccess.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public HttpBasicAuthenticationInfo AuthenticationInfo { get; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public ReadOnly Property AuthenticationInfo As HttpBasicAuthenticationInfo

Property Value

Type	Description
HttpBasicAuthenticationInfo	An object that specifies the Username and Password parameters.

Remarks

If the JsonDataSource object retrieves JSON data from a web service endpoint that requests authentication, you should specify authentication parameters. For this, you can use the UriJsonSource‘s AuthenticationInfo property. Set this property to the HttpBasicAuthenticationInfo object and specify this object’s Username and Password properties.

C#

public static JsonDataSource CreateReportDataSourceWithAuthenticationInCode() {
    // Create a new UriJsonSource object and configure authentication data in it
    var jsonSource = new DevExpress.DataAccess.Json.UriJsonSource();
    jsonSource.Uri = new Uri(@"http://northwind.servicestack.net/customers.json");

    jsonSource.AuthenticationInfo.Username = "user";
    jsonSource.AuthenticationInfo.Password = "pwd";

    // Create JsonDataSource
    var jsonDataSource = new DevExpress.DataAccess.Json.JsonDataSource() {
        JsonSource = jsonSource
    };
    jsonDataSource.Fill();
}

VB.NET

Public Shared Function CreateReportDataSourceWithAuthenticationInCode() As JsonDataSource
    ' Create a new UriJsonSource object and configure authentication data in it
    Dim jsonSource = New DevExpress.DataAccess.Json.UriJsonSource()
    jsonSource.Uri = New Uri("http://northwind.servicestack.net/customers.json")

    jsonSource.AuthenticationInfo.Username = "user"
    jsonSource.AuthenticationInfo.Password = "pwd"

    ' Create JsonDataSource
    Dim jsonDataSource = New DevExpress.DataAccess.Json.JsonDataSource() With {.JsonSource = jsonSource}
    jsonDataSource.Fill()
End Function

Note

You can also specify authentication parameters in the application’s connection string and assign the connection name to the JsonDataSource‘s ConnectionName property.

Refer to the Provide Authentication to Access JSON Data (Runtime Sample) topic for information on how to provide a report‘s JSON data source with authentication parameters at runtime.
