I am with Richard. I have never used VRPG. I would see how to do it
ANSA's way first.

Otherwise, I have an open-source class that makes DB connections easy.
Take look at https://github.com/MikeWills/IBM-i-.NET-Interface. I
haven't gotten too advanced yet in the methods, but makes DB logic
easy.

Mark,

My understanding is that the VRPG software has its own data layer.

Are you planning to use the ASNA's RPG or write something custom in VB.Net/C# ?

If they are using full-on VRPG I would see what they offer in their stuff first.

Also, what type of app ?

In .Net you would typically use SQL to update records in the database in .Net depending on your apps functionality.

VRPG probably has some functionality similar to CHAIN/READ/WRITE/UPDATE already built in to its language.

Where it probably gets a little fuzzy is they compile the VRPG code to .Net.

I would suggest maybe contacting ASNA for a little input and training if possible.

subject: [SystemiDotNet] ASNA Visual RPG

Hello all,

I'm at a client that is using ASNA VRPG for .Net. I have been tasked to create a data access layer over their database in order to streamline some of their web development.

My question to you is how would you implement the Add/Update functions of a data class. I thought about passing a .Net datatable back to the procedure and write/update from that, but I was wondering if anyone has any more elegant solutions.

Thanks,

Mark
