When you create a new project in Visual Studio, you can use a template specific to the Open Access SDK for ADO.NET data provider, or a template that creates an application with generic code.
In the following example, we create a new project in Visual Studio using the template for the Open Access SDK for ADO.NET data provider.
1. Select File / New / Project... The New Project dialog appears.
2. In the Project Types pane, select Visual C# / Progress DataDirect.
3. Make any necessary changes to the fields on the New Project dialog:
a. In the Templates pane, select Progress DataDirect OpenAccess Project.
b. In the Name field, type a name, for example, My OpenAccess Project, or accept the default name.
c. In the Location field, type the location to which you want to save the project, or click Browse to navigate to the directory.
d. In the Solution Name field, type the name for the solution.
4. Click OK.
5. The new project appears in the Solution Explorer. The namespace for the DataDirect OpenAccess data provider is automatically added to the project.
