ITokenProvider in vb.net class

Hi guys

i am trying to implement the sample code for getting an access token for o365.
the samples are all in c# and my project is vb.net.
normally, this is not an issue, however, i am having trouble trying to inherit the ITokenProvider object.
i am getting the error: classes can inherit only from other classes
do you have any suggestions or samples for this in vb?
thanks.

I suggest you to please visit the following thread to serve the purpose. You need to port the C# based example code to VB .NET using standard tools even.

Hi there

when i take this code and covert to VB, i get an error with how Inherits Aspose.Email.Clients.ITokenProvider is referenced. This works in C# but not VB.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

@gavinduffy

Can you please share the sample Visual Studio project that you have ported and has issue on your end.

Public Class AzureTokenProvider
Inherits Aspose.Email.Clients.ITokenProvider

Private ReadOnly _tenantId As String
Private ReadOnly _clientId As String
Private ReadOnly _clientSecret As String
Private ReadOnly _scopes As String()
Private ReadOnly _tokenSyncObj As Object = New Object()
Private _token As Aspose.Email.Clients.OAuthToken

Public Sub New(ByVal tenant As String, ByVal clientId As String, ByVal clientSecret As String, ByVal scopes As String())
    _tenantId = tenant
    _clientId = clientId
    _clientSecret = clientSecret
    _scopes = scopes
End Sub

Public Overridable Function GetAccessToken(ByVal ignoreExistingToken As Boolean) As Aspose.Email.Clients.OAuthToken
    SyncLock _tokenSyncObj
        If _token IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not Me._token.Expired AndAlso Not ignoreExistingToken Then Return _token
        _token = GetNewAccessToken()
        Return _token
    End SyncLock
End Function

Public Function GetAccessToken() As Aspose.Email.Clients.OAuthToken
    Return GetAccessToken(False)
End Function

Private Function GetNewAccessToken() As Aspose.Email.Clients.OAuthToken
    Dim app = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(_clientId).WithAuthority(AzureCloudInstance.AzurePublic, _tenantId).WithClientSecret(_clientSecret).Build()
    Dim authResultTask = app.AcquireTokenForClient(_scopes).ExecuteAsync()
    Dim authResult = authResultTask.Result
    Return New Aspose.Email.Clients.OAuthToken(authResult.AccessToken, Aspose.Email.Clients.TokenType.AccessToken, authResult.ExpiresOn.LocalDateTime)
End Function

Public Overridable Sub Dispose()
End Sub

End Class

the first line Inherits Aspose.Email.Clients.ITokenProvider is invalid

@gavinduffy

I can observe the issue while inheriting class. I have included the information in EMAILNET-39868 for further investigation and will share the feedback with you as soon as it will be fixed.

@gavinduffy

You may please need to implement the interface rather than using inherit. Please try “Implements”.

hi
the implements solved the issue with the itokenprovider. thank you.
however, when i try to use the code AzureROPCTokenProvider referred to in the link above, there is a line:
Dim t As AzureTokenResponse
where is AzureTokenResponse? i cannot find any reference to this class.
i simply get an is not defined error message.
is there an imports i am missing?
thanks.

found the class in another post.
one step closer, but not there yet.
now i am getting “not implemented” errors in ITokenProvider_GetAccessToken.
will post if i can figure out the cause.

@gavinduffy

It’s good to know things are moving ahead on your end.
