Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I want to use the dropbox api. I use the code from this page - https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/dotnet#tutorial .
But in my Visual.Studio throws an error -
CS1061 "IList<Metadata>" does not contain a definition of "Where", and it was not possible to find an available "Where" extension method that accepts the type "IList<Metadata>" as the first argument (perhaps the using directive or assembly reference was omitted).
Why doesn 't it recognize WHERE ?
Code:
async Task ListRootFolder(DropboxClient dbx)
{
var list = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);
// show folders then files
foreach (var item in list.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFolder))
{
Console.WriteLine("D {0}/", item.Name);
}
foreach (var item in list.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFile))
{
Console.WriteLine("F{0,8} {1}", item.AsFile.Size, item.Name);
}
}
... in addition to Greg's advises: Migration to MonoDevelop may be considered. It's at the same time simplistic and feature rich IDE; ideal for start learning (and not only). Even more: its underlying platform - mono - is much more portable than original .NET! It's officially supported on Mac, Linux, and Windows only, but runs on any popular (or no so popular) OS. Take a look here how you can install on Windows.
@saharin Also, regarding "does not cause errors, but the list of cloud storage files does not print", are you referring to trying to list the contents without using "Where"? In that case, there are a few things to check:
