Support for ADO.NET DataSets and DataTables

ABL does no mapping between ADO.NET DataSets (System.Data.DataSet) and DataTables (System.Data.DataTable) and their corresponding ABL data objects, ProDataSets and temp-tables. In ABL, these .NET data objects look like any other .NET object, and you can access them accordingly.

However, ABL supports the ability to map ABL ProDataSets, temp-tables, and other forms of ABL data directly to .NET controls using an OpenEdge extension of the .NET System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource class, Progress.Data.BindingSource (ProBindingSource). For more information on using the ProBindingSource, see BindingABL Data to .NET Controls.
