SAP .NET Connector & VS.NET 2003 Problem

[Former Member]

I am so pleased to have disovered this forum!! Thanks.

We have been using SAP.NET Connector very successfully with VS.NET(7.0). Recently we upgraded to VS.NET 2003 (7.1.3). I noticed that SAP.NET Connector was not available within VS.NET. I tried to re-install .NET Connector 1.0.2 but got a message saying that VS.NET 7.0 was required.

I take it then that SAP.NET Connector 1.0.2 is not compatible with VS.NET 2003. Is this true? Is there a work around?

SAP .NET Connector 1.0.2 is compatible to Visual Studio 2003. In fact it ONLY works with VS 2003. Please make sure that you really have downloaded the correct connector package. The ZIP file is called SAPDotNetSetup2003n.zip and has size 5.075.869 bytes. It contains SAP.Net.Setup2003.msi which is 5.480.448 bytes long.

I had the same problem, becouse the sort-order of the download-files isa little bit confusing. You will find the correct file somewhere in the midle of the list ...

(but it works!)

It worked fine with the code in the magazine article "SAP .NET Connector for C# Programmers" in the Jul/Aug 2003 issue of SAP Professional.

A minor syntax correction in Listing 2 (to specify the qualifying namespace for a method):

use '... new SAP.Connector.SAPConnection ...'

instead of ' ... new SAPConnection ...'

to eliminate a compilation error.
