Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
.NET Open Clients

Getting started building a .NET Open Client application
using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

This section describes how to build a .NET Open Client application using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

To begin building a client application that uses a .NET proxy:

Run Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
Create a new project.
In your Solution Explorer window, add references to the following:
The proxy .dll file (created by ProxyGen).
The main OpenEdge .NET Open Client Runtime assembly (Progress.o4glrt.dll) in the ProxyGen output directory.

Once you add a reference to the proxy .dll file, your new client application can access AppServer functionality through methods on the generated proxy objects. To view these proxy classes, bring up the Object Browser in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. The Object Browser allows you to examine objects (namespaces, classes, and so on) and their members in your project.
