C# using net.tcp connection

I'm looking for a quick concise way to connect to SolarWinds via the Orion SDK. I've read that the best way to connect is via net.tcp, but can't find a simple example.

var client = new InforemationServiceClient("NetTcpBinding_InformationService"

,string.Format("net.tcp://{0}:17778/SolarWindw/InformationService/v3/OrionBasic",hostname);

// I've tried using the connection syntax given for https, but the connection fails and the program exceptions...

// need to run queries against numerous tables.under IPAM

var result = client.QueryXml("SELECT IPAddress FROM IPAM.IPNode WHERE IPAddress NOT LIKE NULL",NULL);

Any help greatly appreciated.

There is a sample C# project as part of the OrionSDK GitHub repository. You might want to try using that code as a starting point for your own solution:

OrionSDK/Samples/CSharp at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

I attempted to start with that code. I couldn't compile it (VS2015 or VS2017) due to an undefined WebRequestHandler entry. Subsequently read elsewhere a comment that led me to understand I wouldn't be able to modify custom properties using that kind of connection and should use the Net.Tcp like the PowerShell scripts.

That's strange. I've built that sample solution recently. What error are you getting?

A dozen different attempts to get the various Nuget packages. I'm working offline and have to transfer the .nuget packages. I could never get a compile. When I gave up, the WebRequestHandler was an unrecognized function/class.

Update:

I went back and reattempted getting the .nuget packages and got the code to compile. It gets an exception right away, despite having updated the host and credentials.

I'd rather start with an uncomplicated connection via Net.Tcp that doesn't involve downloading/debugging anything more than my code interacting with the Orion SDK. A vanilla sample of code that could fit in a short page of code.
