Simple C# app that uses the Citrix Netscaler C# SDK

Posted on July 15, 2013

I recently pushed up the 10.0 and 10.1 versions of the Citrix Netscaler C# SDK to nuget. I was browsing around and noticed that the C# SDK for Citrix Netscaler wasnt really getting any love on the inner-webs so I thought I would put just a very simple code snippet together that shows how to perform a login to the netscaler appliance and then list any virtual servers (load balanced) that are configured.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; //Citrix Netscaler nitro namespaces using com.citrix.netscaler.nitro.service; using com.citrix.netscaler.nitro.resource.config.lb; namespace NetscalerSDKShowcase { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string _username = "nsroot"; string _password = "password"; string _serverip = "10.10.10.10."; //define the Netscaler Nitro Service Object nitro_service _nsService = new nitro_service(_serverip); //Perform login to the appliance try { _nsService.login(_username, _password); foreach (lbvserver lbserver in lbvserver.get(_nsService)) { Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Name:{0},Ip:{1},State:{3}", lbserver.name, lbserver.ipv46, lbserver.state)); } } catch ( Exception LoginError) { Console.Error.WriteLine("Unable to authenticate to the netscaler appliance. Please try again."); } } } }
