dotConnect for Zoho Desk
dotConnect for Zoho Desk is an ADO.NET provider for working with Zoho Desk data through the standard ADO.NET or Entity Framework interfaces. It allows you to easily integrate Zoho Desk data into your .NET applications, and integrate Zoho Desk services with widely used data-oriented technologies.
The provider works with .NET Frameworks 4.5+, .NET Core 2.0+, .NET 5+. The product is compatible with ADO.NET Entity Framework (EF) Core.
It has the same standard ADO.NET classes as other standard ADO.NET providers: ZohoDeskConnection, ZohoDeskCommand, ZohoDeskDataAdapter, ZohoDeskDataReader, ZohoDeskParameter, etc. This allows you quickly get started with it and eliminates the need to study any Zoho Desk data access specificities.
