C# SoftLayer API

Question

I was trying to create C# application that loads SoftLayer Billing data to my Database. I was trying to bring only filtered Billing data using ObjectFilter. For example, I wanted to bring only invoice ID of 12345.
Can someone help complete the code below ?

           using com.softlayer.api;
    SoftLayer_AccountService accountService = new SoftLayer_AccountService();         
     String username = "UserName";
        String apiKey = "UserKey";

        authenticate authenticate = new authenticate();
        authenticate.username = username;
        authenticate.apiKey = apiKey;            
        accountService.authenticateValue = authenticate;

        SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice_ItemObjectFilter objFilt = new SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice_ItemObjectFilter();

    /// 
    ///

        SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice[] inv = accountService.getInvoices();

Currently there is no support for object Filters related to the C#

As a workaround you could get the same result using the getObject method from the SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice service.

Here is an example how to obtain the invoice data.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    String username = "set me";
    String apiKey = "set me";
    int invoiceId = 123456;

    authenticate authenticate = new authenticate();
    authenticate.username = username;
    authenticate.apiKey = apiKey;

    // Initialize the SoftLayer_Account API service.
    SoftLayer_Billing_InvoiceService invoiceService = new SoftLayer_Billing_InvoiceService();
    invoiceService.authenticateValue = authenticate;

    SoftLayer_Billing_InvoiceInitParameters billingInvoiceInitParameters = new SoftLayer_Billing_InvoiceInitParameters();
    billingInvoiceInitParameters.id = invoiceId;
    invoiceService.SoftLayer_Billing_InvoiceInitParametersValue = billingInvoiceInitParameters;

    SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice result = invoiceService.getObject();
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
