2. In the New Project dialog box, expand Installed > COBOL.
3. Click the Web category.
4. In the center pane, select ASP.NET Web Application.
5. Complete the fields as follows:

6. Uncheck Create directory for solution.
7. Click OK.

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

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 OOSqlBookDemoWebApplication project to the OOSqlBookWrapper and OOSqlLegacyBook projects.

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

2. Declare the my-book data item in the working-storage section as follows:

          01 my-book type OOSqlBookWrapper.SqlBook.
