DBF to SDF

[Chris]

Alright,

I have a few look up tables in dbf format which are used in a desktop
application. Porting this app to the .net compact framework has been
ok but i wish to use these dbfs since they contain 100 records which i
dont really want to have to enter again. Is there any way i can use
(or convert) these so they are accessible from my .net compact app?

Thanks

Chris

It would seem to me that the easiest way would be to import them into SQL
Server, otherwise import them into Access and export to a delimited text
file.

First Convert your dbf files into XML files

using dataset.writexml() method

Create new Database & sdf
Create tables
Update the values using the xml files
