ODBC .Net

[Darren Gulliver]

I'm trying to use ODBC to connect to different databases in VB.NET I know
there is a reference I need to add called Microsoft.Data.ODBC.dll but it is
not available on my list of .Net references. I have the .Net Framework 1.1
so I do not understand wht I cannot use ODBC.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA
Darren

Hi Darren..

I'm trying to use ODBC to connect to different databases in VB.NET I know
there is a reference I need to add called Microsoft.Data.ODBC.dll but it is
not available on my list of .Net references. I have the .Net Framework 1.1

I think you find your solution easy here

If it's not in the global assembly cache, try browsing for the file Microsoft.Data.Odbc.dll and add
it through the references dialog.

You could also download and install the component:

Thank you all for your input.

As I'm running VS2002 v1.1 of the framework is not compatible. Only VS2003
is.

I found a ODBC_Net set up program which makes the Microsoft.Data.ODBC.dll
available. I downloaded this extra driver from
