Hi;

I have to write a small MFC/C++ program that hits a database. Is
ODBC/OleDb still the best way there or do they have something like the
ADO.NET providers?

thanks - dave

If the code can access the managed .NET Framework namespace, yes, ADO.NET
and SqlClient is the best way to connect/access SQL Server. If not, my next
choice would be ODBC then the SNAC OLE DB provider.

Hello Dave,

Apart from William's ssuggestions, here is an example of using ADO.NET in
C++:
