Using Provider-Specific Templates
Visual Studio offers a set of templates to help you build applications that automatically include features such as SQL leveling.
Creating a New Project
When you create a new project in Visual Studio, you can use a template specific to the PSQL data provider, or a template that creates an application with generic code.
In the following example, we create a new project in Visual Studio using the template for the PSQL data provider.
1
Select File > New > Project The New Project dialog appears.
2
In the Installed List, select Visual C# > PSQL.
3
Select Pervasive PSQL Project in the middle pane.
4
Make changes to the other fields if required, and click OK.
5
The new project appears in the Solution Explorer. The namespace for the PSQL ADO.NET data provider is automatically added to the project.
NOTE: If you are using the ADO.NET 2.0 common programming model, select the PSQL Generic Provider Project template. In this case, the project does not require a specific reference to an assembly.
