Solution

  • Use the Progress Openedge ODBC driver. I was able to do this by creating a DSNLess connection in my C# code to connect to the database.

    Here is some of the code:

     OdbcConnection DBConnectionTester = new OdbcConnection("Driver={" + ODBCDriverName + "};DB=" + DatabaseName + ";host=" + HostServerName + ";port=" + HostPortnumber + ";UID=" + ODBCusername + ";PWD=" + ODBCPassword + ";DIL=" + isolationlevel);
