API use sample
I would like to use your API outside the webproject (eg in a WPF application or in a WCF service).

Do you have a sample:
1) what reference to Add and what to include in web.config
2) A sample that retrieve all documents of a language, of type News under a node ("/News/%")

Thanks
Sandro

Hello Sandro,

1. Please see here: http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/using_api_and_cms_controls_outside_cms_project.htm for more information about API using outside the CMS project.

2. You may see the sample here: http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/selecting_nodes.htm (Select multiple documents sample on the bottom)

Best regards,

RE:API use sample
I have checked the documentation and I see references to web based projects only. Is it possible to use the API in a WPF application. I have tried to configure the connection string in the app.config file of a WPF application with no success. The internal exception reads "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized". Can this property be set dynamically?

Thanks

Hi,

What is the stack trace of the error you are getting?

also, you can initialize the connection string dynamically too - using the SQLHelper class and its methods.

Best regards,
