Referencing ASE ADO.NET Data Provider classes in source code

To use ASE ADO.NET Data Provider, you must also add a line to your source code to reference ASE ADO.NET Data Provider. You must add a different line for C# than for Visual Basic .NET.

Referencing the ASE ADO.NET Data Provider classes in your code

Start Visual Studio .NET and open your project.
- For C#, add the following line to the list of using directives at the beginning of your project:
```
using Sybase.Data.AseClient;
```
- For Visual Basic .NET, add the following line at the beginning of your project before the line Public Class Form1:
```
Imports Sybase.Data.AseClient
```
  This line is not strictly required. However, it allows you to use short forms for the ASE classes. Without it, you can still use
```
Sybase.Data.AseClient.AseConnection		  conn = new 
Sybase.Data.AseClient.AseConnection(); 
```
  instead of
```
AseConnection conn = new AseConnection();
```
  in your code.
