Paradox 9.x

[Guest]

Hello

How can I use a Paradox 9.x Database with Visual Studio 2005 (C#)?
All the examples from www.connectionstrings.com don't work with the version
9.x

Does anybody now a Dataprovider, Connector, ...?

We have to implement two database interfaces in our application. Once SQL
2005 and Paradox 9.x. And it's important to include both!

Thank you for any advices...

Best regards
Danny Meier

Danny,

Do you actually have the ODBC or OleDB driver/provider installed? If
not, you need to make sure you have these installed.

If you have either of these installed, you will have to make sure you
are using the classes in the System.Data.Odbc or System.Data.OleDb
namespaces respectively. Your best bet here is to use the common
interfaces/base classes (DbConnection, IDbConnection, etc, etc) so that you
can normalize your code.

Hope this helps.

At first I had only the Jet drivers installed.
After the installation of the newest BDE drivers are OLE and ODBC
connections available.
Read and write operations works fine.

ConnectionString:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\Data;Extended
Properties=Paradox 7.x;
