READ THE FULL CHANGELOG
dotConnect for ExactTarget is a utility that aims to help software developers or programmers implement ExactTarget data support into their .NET applications. It can process the data via both ADO.NET and Entity Framework interfaces, thus offering multiple possibilities to the end-users.
Since it comes with the same classes as other similar providers, it is possible to benefit from its capabilities without advanced specific knowledge about certain ExactTarget concepts. Some of the classes it encompasses are ExactTargetParameter, ExactTargetCommand, ExactTargetConnection, ExactDataReader and ExactDataAdapter.
Given that it features support for Entity Framework, developers can use various functions, such as LINQ to Entity query method, Entity relations with eager or lazy loading types and SaveChanges() call support.
More so, its SQL-friendly interface makes it possible for programmers to use SQL statements, such as SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE or INSERT to retrieve or manage ExactTarget data. It can handle contacts, leads, accounts, contracts or products via SQL queries.
Connecting to an ExactTarget data source is also a feature of dotConnect for ExactTarget and the process can be accomplished by turning to the built-in Server Explorer component. The only required actions that need to be performed prior to gaining access to the data source are selecting the data source from the drop-down menu and typing authentication details in the corresponding fields.
