Migration V1 to V2
Hi,
in V1 I simply use:
Public Function write(myFile As String) As MetaData
Dim Client As DropNetClient = New DropNetClient(Konstanten.DropboxAppKey, Konstanten.DropboxAppSecret)
Client.UseSandbox = True
Client.GetToken()
Process.Start(Client.BuildAuthorizeUrl())
MessageBox.Show("Wait")
Try
Dim accessToken = Client.GetAccessToken()
Dim myFilestream As FileStream = New FileStream(myFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim myReturn As MetaData = Client.UploadFile("/", System.IO.Path.GetFileName(myFile), myFilestream)
myFilestream.Close()
Return myReturn
Catch ex As Exception
Return Nothing
End Try
End FunctionHow can I get the token in V2 without entering the code by the user???

Hi Greg,
I add a webbrowser control to my app and now I can add files to ther dropbox. Thanx for the help.
I use
Dim myReturn As Files.FileMetadata = Await bindDropbox.Client.Files.UploadAsync("/Backups/" + bindDropbox.Filename, WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, body:=myFilestream)My File exists in the Dropbox and Dropbox shows me realtime that I added a file.
But... the UploadAsync never ends and never return to my app. What could be the reason?

When using UploadAsync with Await, the call should block until the upload is complete, and then return once it is. This is working properly for me.
How are you checking this behavior? Have you stepped through your code with a debugger? You may wish to do so if you haven't already. Of course I step through the code. I do the call to UploadAsync and my dropbox shows me that the uploaded file is arrived.
But the call is never come back to the app.
In the webbrowsers Navigating-event I call my write method like
If bindDropbox.write(bindDropbox.BackupDestination) Is Nothing Then MessageBox.Show("ERROR") End IfbindDropbox is a seperate class and the write method is this
Public Shared Async Function write(myFile As String) As System.Threading.Tasks.Task(Of Files.FileMetadata) Try Dim myReturn As Files.FileMetadata = Await bindDropbox.Client.Files.UploadAsync("/Backups/" + bindDropbox.Filename, WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, body:=New MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(myFile))) Return myReturn Catch ex As Exception Return Nothing End Try End FunctionI have really no idea why UploadAsync isnt coming back.
- Greg-DBI unfortunately can't seem to reproduce this behavior. Can you share a small sample project that reproduces this? Thanks in advance!
I built a demo version and... I solved it. :grinning:
I blocked the task with another running task in it.
Now it works. Thanks for the help.
