Add existing projects

We provide the SqlBookWrapper and SqlLegacyBook projects for you to add to the solution. These contain application source code and references.

1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the solution; then select Add > Existing Project.
2. Browse to the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\SQL\ado.net\SqlBookWrapper directory.
3. Double-click the SqlBookWrapper COBOL project.
4. Again, in the Solution Explorer, right-click the solution; then select Add > Existing Project.
5. Browse to the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\SQL\ado.net\SqlLegacyBook directory.
6. Double-click the SqlLegacyBook COBOL project.

Add project references

The two projects you just added to the solution need to be incorporated by reference. Here you create a reference from the SqlBookWCF project to the SqlBookWrapper and SqlLegacyBook projects.

1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the SqlBookWCF project; then select Add > Reference.
2. In the left pane, expand Solution; then click Project.
3. In the right pane, check SqlBookWrapper and SqlLegacyBook; then click OK.

Replace generated components

When you created the SqlBookWCF project, it generated some default configuration and source code files. We have provided updated files to replace these:

1. In the Solution Explorer, delete the app.config, IService1.cbl, and Service1.cbl files from the SqlBookWCF project.
2. Right-click the project; then select Add > Existing Item.
3. On the Add Existing Item dialog box, select All Files (*.*) from the Filename filter drop-down list.
4. Browse to the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\SQL\ado.net\SqlBookDemoWCF\SqlBookWCF directory.
5. Select the following files:
   • app.config
   • ISqlBook.cbl
   • SqlBookService.cbl
6. Click Add.
