Features

GemBox.Ppc Reference Application features are listed below:

1. Login to production and sandbox account.

   Because GemBox.Ppc Reference Application uses GemBox.Ppc Free component, same restrictions for production environment are imposed.
   However, there are no any restrictions for sandbox environment, what makes this application a perfect choice to use as AdWords sandbox viewer/editor.

2. Download and upload account.

   Download your AdWords account's data, modify it locally, and upload only changed data.
   If there are any errors in upload operation, you will get detailed explanation of errors and what caused them.

3. Hierarchical and aggregated view of data.

   Account, Campaigns and AdGroups are represented hierarchically, in a tree-like structure.
   Grids are used to represent collections of AdWords objects and they are sensitive to selected item in hierarchical view. For example, if selected item in hierarchical view is Campaign, AdGroup grid will contain all AdGroups under that Campaign and Ad grid will contain all AdGroupAds aggregated over all AdGroups under selected Campaign.

4. Modify account's data.

   Three basic operations on all AdWords objects are supported:

   • Add
     Every grid is capable of adding new items if it does not represent aggregated data.
   • Remove
     Using DELETE key you can remove items even from grids that represent aggregated data.
   • Edit
     Editing items is easy and straightforward - just doubleclick on grid's cell.

5. Sorting grids.

   Sort by any column of any grid in ascending or descending order. Items will also be sorted in underlying data collection.

6. State & Error grid columns.

   You can view state of every item in the grid. It can be added, removed, modified or unchanged.
   If some item caused error in upload operation it will be marked with red exclamation point.
