The Alibaba Cloud C# Software Development Kit (SDK) allows you to access Alibaba Cloud services such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Server Load Balancer (SLB), and CloudMonitor. You can access Alibaba Cloud services without the need to handle API related tasks, such as signing and constructing your requests.
This document introduces how to install and use Alibaba Cloud C# SDK.
If you have any problem while using C# SDK, please submit an issue.
-
To use Alibaba Cloud C# SDK, you must have an Alibaba Cloud account and an AccessKey.
The AccessKey is required when initializing the client. You can create an AccessKey in the Alibaba Cloud console. For more information, see Create an AccessKey.
Note: To increase the security of your account, we recommend that you use the AccessKey of the RAM user to access Alibaba Cloud services.

The following code example shows the three main steps to use the Alibaba Cloud C# SDK:
-
Create and initialize a DefaultAcsClient instance.
-
Create a request and set parameters.
-
Initiate the request and handle the response.
using Aliyun.Acs.Core;
using Aliyun.Acs.Core.Profile;
using Aliyun.Acs.Core.Exceptions;
using Aliyun.Acs.Ecs.Model.V20140526;
class TestProgram
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a client used for initiating a request
IClientProfile profile = DefaultProfile.GetProfile(
"<your-region-id>",
"<your-access-key-id>",
"<your-access-key-secret>");
DefaultAcsClient client = new DefaultAcsClient(profile);
try
{
// Create the request
DescribeInstancesRequest request = new DescribeInstancesRequest();
request.PageSize = 10;
// Initiate the request and get the response
DescribeInstancesResponse response = client.GetAcsResponse(request);
System.Console.WriteLine(response.TotalCount);
}
catch (ServerException ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
catch (ClientException ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
}
Use BearerToken to invoke CCC Product
You should install the relative Nuget Package, as it said before, when you are running the test demo in your local machine.
using Aliyun.Acs.Core;
using Aliyun.Acs.Core.Profile;
using Aliyun.Acs.Core.Exceptions;
using Aliyun.Acs.CCC.Model.V20170705;
class TestProgram
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a client used for initiating a request
IClientProfile profile = DefaultProfile.GetProfile("<your-region-id>");
BearerTokenCredential bearerTokenCredential = new BearerTokenCredential("<your-bearertoken>");
DefaultAcsClient client = new DefaultAcsClient(profile, bearerTokenCredential);
try
{
// Create the request
ListPhoneNumbersRequest request = new ListPhoneNumbersRequest();
// Initiate the request and get the response
var response = client.GetAcsResponse(request);
//Do something as you want below
}
catch (ServerException ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
catch (ClientException ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
}
If there exist an environment variable DEBUG=sdk
, all http request/response will work in debug mode.
-
Connect Time refers to the TCP connection establishment time from the SDK side to the server side;
-
Read Time refers to the time after the connection is established, the SDK sends a request (request) to the completion of the response end (response end);
Priority: Request Settings -> Client Settings -> Default Settings, the priority is decremented.
The default Connect Timeout is 5 seconds and the default Read Timeout is 10 seconds.
IClientProfile profile = DefaultProfile.GetProfile(
"<your-region-id>",
"<your-access-key-id>",
"<your-access-key-secret>");
// Client level timeout setting, valid for all current requests
DefaultAcsClient client = new DefaultAcsClient(profile);
client.SetConnectTimeoutInMilliSeconds(1024);
client.SetReadTimeoutInMilliSeconds(2048);
// Request level timeout setting Take ECS DescribeInstancesRequest as an example, only valid for current request request
DescribeInstancesRequest request = new DescribeInstancesRequest();
request.SetConnectTimeoutInMilliSeconds(1024);
request.SetReadTimeoutInMilliSeconds(2048);
When you want to turn off the verification of the HTTPS certificate on the client, you can set it at the Client or Request level.
// Client level certificate ignores verification
client.SetHttpsInsecure(true);
// Request level certificate ignores verification
request.SetHttpsInsecure(true);
If you want to use the http, https proxy or proxy whitelist, you can set the environment variables HTTP_PROXY , HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY , or you can configure them via the client.
//Client priority is higher than environment variable
//Set up the http proxy
client.SetHttpProxy("http://localhost.com");
//Get http proxy
client.GetHttpProxy();
//Set up the https proxy
client.SetHttpsProxy("https://localhost.com");
client.SetHttpsProxy("http://username:password@localhost.com:10");
//Get https proxy
client.GetHttpsProxy();
//Set proxy whitelist
client.SetNoProxy("localhost.com,localtest.com");
//Get the agent white list
client.GetNoProxy();
