Hi

I need to be able to access the API's of my ABP website from a VB.NET WinForms application, and I want to do it correctly and securely.

So hoping for some guidance as can't find any tutorials or sample apps to help me.

I have created a sample solution with the sample CRUD pages (book store) to use to learn more

  1. Do i need to include OpenIddict in my project or not?

  2. How do I securely connect to the API from my app, what config do I need to do in the app (if any) first and how do I then access for example a list of books and add a new book?

Anything else you need me to answer to allow a complete response please let me know as I am running out of questions already and only been using it a short while!

Thank you (and happy new year!)

    If you mean setting it here as per screenshot then yes. If not then please explain where I look as I don't see a file called that name in my project

    As per email I sent I can send you all my source and I have given you details of the hosted website and password you can access if needed to check anything?

    Excellent, thank you very much. I think this area needs to be documented better on your website so others can avoid the same mistakes I did
