Add existing projects

We provide the OOSqlBookWrapper and OOSqlLegacyBook 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.

5. Browse to the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\SQL\ado.net\OOSqlLegacyBook directory.
6. Double-click the OOSqlLegacyBook 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 OOSqlBookWCF project to the OOSqlBookWrapper and OOSqlLegacyBook projects.

1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the OOSqlBookWCF project; then select Add > Reference.
2. In the left pane, click Projects.
3. In the right pane, check OOSqlBookWrapper and OOSqlLegacyBook; then click OK.

Replace generated components

When you created the OOSqlBookWCF 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 OOSqlBookWCF 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\OOSqlBookDemoWCF\OOSqlBookWCF directory.
5. Select the following files:
   • app.config
   • ISqlBook.cbl
   • SqlBookService.cbl
6. Click Add.
