Visual Basic.NET - Red Oxygen

Visual Basic .NET API

The best way to use the Red Oxygen API from VB.NET is to use the HTTP interface.

Example

Public Shared Function SendSms(ByVal AccountID As String, ByVal Email As String, ByVal Password As String,
ByVal Recipient As String, ByVal Message As String) As Integer
 
	Dim Client As WebClient = New WebClient
	Dim URL As String
 
	URL = ("http://www.redoxygen.net/sms.dll?Action=SendSMS" _
		+ "&AccountId=" + AccountID _
		+ "&Email=" + Email _
		+ "&Password=" + Password _
		+ "&Recipient=" + Recipient _
		+ "&Message=" + Message)
 
	Dim Response() As Byte = Client.DownloadData(URL)
	Dim Result As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Response)
	Dim ResultCode As Integer = System.Convert.ToInt32(Result.Substring(0, 4))
 
	Return ResultCode
 
End Function

Properties
