Question

I’m trying to access the Scoop.it API via C# to retrieve posts in topics. It’s pretty much straight forward, in PHP, how are objects managed in C# and how to you access the properties?

Here’s the php code which i’d like to get a C# equivalent of:

$topic = $scoop->topic(24001);
foreach($topic->curatedPosts as $post)
{
  echo $post->title;
}

Answer 1

I couldn’t find an API reference for Scoop.it in C#, but I would imagine that they conform to the naming standards in C#.

So the PHP code converted to C# would looke like this:

var topic = scoop.Topic(24001);

foreach(var post in topic.CuratedPosts)
{
    Console.WriteLine(post.Title);
}

However echo in PHP prints something out to the web-page, so I would imagine that you want to replace Console.WriteLine with Response.Write.

If you have a class that looks like this, where Name is a property:

class Topic
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Then you would create an instance of Topic like this:

var topic = new Topic();

Now you can access the property Name like this: topic.Name
