Calling programs from .NET COBOL projects

If a program in your managed project is calling a program in another managed project you need to add a project or a file reference in the calling project to the project containing the program to be called. To do this:

1. In Solution Explorer, select the calling project.
2. Click Project > Project Properties.
3. Click the References tab.
4. Click Add.
5. Choose Projects or Browse to add a project or a file reference.

Once this is done, you can use the classes and methods from the referenced project in the calling project.
