Prepare to generate proxies for a .NET client using ProxyGen or Batch ProxyGen

To configure your environment to generate a .NET proxy:

Before generating a proxy, you must configure your environment.

  1. Install Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, Progress Application Server for OpenEdge, or 4GL Development in Windows where you plan to run ProxyGen.
    Note: If you install on networked storage on your local intranet, you must adjust your .NET security settings to fully trust your local intranet storage device. (Microsoft's default is to not fully trust these storage devices.) For more information, see Microsoft's documentation on security settings.
  2. Install Microsoft Visual Studio or Microsoft .NET SDK Version 4.7 or later. Follow the instructions on the Microsoft Web site to complete the installation.
  3. Make sure the ABL r-code for the proxy is accessible to your system, and the directory structure for the r-code is the same as the Propath relative path on the application server.
  4. Choose one:
    • Run ProxyGen from the icon.
    • Run Batch ProxyGen by executing the bproxygen command with an existing project file.
      Note: For more information, see the content on generating proxies and Web service definitions in Learn about Open Clients.
