Hello!
Today the post is a simple reminder of a piece of code I’ve written from scratch several times, and that’s it, I’m writing this down here! The scenario is simple:
In a PowerBI Instance I have a pair of Streaming Datasets and I want to send information to them from a Windows Store App.
Well, in Hands On Labs that has shared Ozzie (see references), describes the steps to create the Streaming Dataset from scratch and to feed it. However, a bit of code is pending for Windows 10 and C#.
My Streaming DataSet value definition is very simple:
And the source code is even simpler!

| TotalVisitors = totalVisitors, | |
| TotalRecognizedVisitors = totalVisitorsIdentified, | |
| timeStamp = DateTime.Now, | |
| CenterName = centerName | |
| }; | |
| var jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(visitorsMeasurement); | |
| var request = WebRequest.Create(pushUrl); | |
| request.Method = "POST"; | |
| request.ContentType = "application/json"; | |
| using (var requestWriter = new StreamWriter(await request.GetRequestStreamAsync())) | |
| { | |
| requestWriter.Write(jsonString); | |
| requestWriter.Flush(); | |
| } | |
| await request.GetResponseAsync(); | |
| } |
Happy Coding!
