.NET Library

The powerGate .NET library contains a set of classes, interfaces, and value types that provide the functionality to automate data synchronization with ERP systems.

The library supports:

• .NET Framework 4.7 or higher

• .NET 8 or later

• OData Version v1, v2, v3, v4.

The library tries to perform as less server requests as possible, in order to keep a high performance when communicating over the network or the internet.

Metadata

This means that e.g. the service metadata will be retrieved only when required, and only for the required services.

After retrieving metadata once, no further metadata request is required, because powerGate caches the server results!
