I want to work with DBF/DB files in C#, so I need a library and an
example...
Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks,
BB
 
you can use ODBC for this or some libs for native access like CODEBASE

Hi,

With ODBC you will have no problem.

One particular problematic thing are the old index db3 had ( .idx I think)
the current ODBC driver has no support for them. post back if this is your
case
 
Hi BB!

You haven't said which application the DBFs were created with, and there is
more than one table format with the DBF extension. Assuming the DBFs are
FoxPro DBFs you can use the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro OLE DB data provider,
downloadable from msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates. After that
it's pretty much like any other OLE DB compliant back end.
 
Thanks all! It was a general problem! The replies did the job of
helping me ;)
