Connect to Progress database without using ODBC

[trungnh]

Hi all !
I want to connect Progress database with C# application without using ODBC. How can I do that ? Pls help me, thanks alot :blush1:

There are two ways I can think of:

1. Create webservices in Progress. You can call the webservices from your c# application
2. If you're using the OpenEdge .NET open Client then you could use proxygen to expose progress code any .NET application (C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net,...).

For example KB P103527: http://tinyurl.com/y6aakh

HTH (a bit),

JDBC?

Seriously, though, what do you mean by "connect"? If you mean actual direct interaction with the database, independent of any Progress ABL application code, then the choices for non-ABL code are ODBC and JDBC. Period. If you are able to also have some ABL code involved, which is what actually interacts with the database, then there are numerous options -- web services as mentioned, named pipes, sockets, file transfer, AppServer, etc.

I'm a newbie in progress, so it's difficult for me to understand Proxygen. Can you tell me what proxygen is ?

See in the documentation:

For this solution you have to have OpenEdge 10.0 or higher, furthermore you must use appservers and prodatasets.
