Issue with Podio's ASP.NET sample application authoring


Whenever I run the Podio ASP.NET Sample Application, it displays me the 'Authentication' page asking for either my Podio credentials or to choose the "Server side flow" with "Sign in to Podio"-button. However, once I try to authenticate with either method, Visual Studio prompts me with a "SqlException was unhandled by user code - An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in NPoco.dll but was not handled in user code" warning (image), referring to line 20 on PodioOAuthData.cs. I've followed the instructions on the GitHub readme page but I can't get it to work. Any idea if I'm missing something?


Solution

  • It seems the readme is a little light on details when it comes to an out-of-the-box experience.

    You actually need a running SQL server somewhere. And then edit PodioAspNetSample/Web.config (https://github.com/podio/asp-net-sample/blob/master/PodioAspNetSample/Web.config#L22) to contain the right connection string.

    Good luck.
