This guide explains everything you need to work with the CData API Driver for ADO.NET. You will learn how to install the provider, set up a connection to your RabbitMQ data, and run simple commands in your .NET applications using familiar ADO.NET patterns.
Whether you are building desktop apps, web apps, or background services, the provider enables secure, high-performance connectivity to live RabbitMQ data without needing to manage API details manually.
Licensing behavior varies depending on whether you are developing with the .NET Framework or .NET Standard. Use the steps below to activate the provider in your environment.
On Windows using the .NET Framework, no extra action is required. The installer or NuGet package automatically installs your development license.
For .NET Standard platforms like .NET Core, Mono, or Xamarin, you must install a license manually before using the provider.
The toolkit includes an install-license utility in the
lib/netstandard2.0folder for applying trial or full licenses.
To install a trial license:
dotnet ./install-license.dll
To activate a full product license:
dotnet ./install-license.dll
After running the tool, your development machine is licensed and ready to use the provider in .NET applications.
When deploying applications, specify the Runtime Key (RTK) in your connection string to enable redistribution.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| RTK | Your Runtime Key used for deployed ADO.NET applications. |
Can I use my license on multiple machines?
Yes, depending on your subscription tier. If unsure, review your order confirmation or contact [email protected].
I lost my license key. How do I retrieve it?
Email [email protected] with your order number.
Can I transfer my license to another machine?
Submit a License Transfer Request:

Once approved, an activation is added to your product key and the previous installation becomes invalid.

Once installed, the next step is to configure a connection to RabbitMQ. Connections are created using ADO.NET connection strings in your .NET application's code or configuration file.
RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that supports multiple messaging protocols. The RabbitMQ Management HTTP API provides HTTP-based access to management and monitoring data for a RabbitMQ server. The API exposes information about virtual hosts, exchanges, queues, bindings, connections, channels, consumers, users, permissions, policies, and cluster-wide statistics.
The Management plugin must be enabled on the RabbitMQ server for the HTTP API to be available. By default, the management interface listens on port 15672.
RabbitMQ Management HTTP API uses HTTP Basic authentication. You must supply the username and password of a RabbitMQ management user.
To enable access to the management API:
After configuring your RabbitMQ server, set the following connection properties to connect:
Profile=C:\profiles\RabbitMQ.apip;AuthScheme=Basic;URL=http://localhost:15672;User=guest;Password=guest;
The RabbitMQ profile provides access to the following tables:
Solution: Verify OAuth settings, client IDs, secrets, or token permissions for your RabbitMQ. Contact [email protected] for assistance.
Solution: Check firewall, proxy, and VPN configurations. Contact [email protected] for required port information.
Solution: Confirm you selected the correct schema or database when querying RabbitMQ.
