Dataset attributes in .net

[svmtho]

Hello,

Our IT team is trying to automate a report using DOT NET without SAS application. They were able reading SAS dataset but couldn't find a dot net procedure to bring dataset attributes (label, type and length). Like contents procedure in SAS. Let me know if you have an idea to read the attributes.

Thanks,

Svm

What access method do you use to read SAS datasets?

If you are using OLE, you are still using SAS application (but not the UI).

Thanks for your response. They are using sas.LocalProvider and looking for something without SAS server.
