Well, someone contacted me about the Data Management Utilities. they loved them (thank you) but wanted to know about reading SAS Transport Files. Well, after fiddling with the localProvider a bit and getting nowhere, I stumbled onto something cool:
- Download and install the SAS Universal Viewer from the SAS support site
- Create a new project in Visual Studio
- Add a reference from the SAS Universal Viewer install files to the following 2 dlls
- SAS.UV.Transport
- SAS.UV.Utility
- Use the following C# code (adapt as needed):
TransportFile tf = new TransportFile(@"x:\temp\sample.xpt");
var x = tf.Datasets;
Your dataset will be in variable x
Don’t forget to add the using statement to the top of your code for the SAS.UV.
