Data queues and C# (Re: RPG made it into the MSDN technical glossary!)

Aaron, another option for data queues is the Data Queues Textbox control. It
is available on your PC if you have installed the IBM iSeries Access for
Windows Programmer's Toolkit option (installed through the IBM iSeries
Access for Windows install program).

The Data Queues Textbox control can be added to the Visual Studio toolbox.
You can drag-and-drop it onto a Windows form. There are only 4 or 5
properties to set (similar to the values used in the i5/OS APIs
QSNDDTAQ/QRCVDTAQ). If you leave the control visibility set to true, you can
actually watch the data queue messages.

does IBM recognize that C# exists? It is only the best language

available

( it is free and highly functional ) for programming as400 interactive
applications.

Just curious Steve, how many other languages have you worked in with the
same depth and breadth you have with C#? The reason I am asking is

because

that is quite the statement to make.

And with that said, can you connect to data queues or RPG programs
_directly_ from C#.NET (i.e. without SQL)? Can you directly access other
resources like the IFS or spool files?

Search for Report Program Generator to find it quickly.
