OleDb and .NET

[Peter]

Are OleDb libraries installed with runtime .NET or do you have to install
ADO.NET separately?

 

[Miha Markic [MVP C#]]

Hi Peter,

OleDb namespace is installed with .net.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, you want to know with which product
the System.Data.OleDb is shipped.

Please kindly note that System.Data.OleDb is installed with .NET Framework.

Have a nice day!

While the OleDb .NET data provider is built into the .NET Framework, you
will still need to install any dependant COM drivers etc.

Thanks

So if currently a user is openning Access database from Excel he should be
able to open the same database with a program using System.Data.OleDb, is
that correct?

Hi Peter,

Yes, if database is not opened in exclusive mode.
