reading and writing dbf files

[Andrus]

For file based export-import with existing programs I need to implement dbf
format file read/write from my .NET 2 winforms application.
It is not possible to force users to install something so this must be
included with my application.

Where to find C# source code which read/writes dbf files ?

Hi,

What kind of dbf files you will interact with?

Depending of what created it (VFP, DB(3,4,5), etc) you could need a
different driver.

Can you use the ODBC driver for Dbase ?

In interacting with VFP 9 application.

It creates files in FoxPro 2x dbf format.
VFP 9 can read most other dbf formats so it is possible to create dbf in any
format.

I'm looking for a way to create dbf file in exclusive mode and read them in
exclusive mode.
No multi user access, indexes are not required.

I need to create application which can be deployed by copying, without
requiring to write to registry.
How I can distribute ODBC driver with my application and use it without
registry access?

I need only simple reading Fox2x dbf files and creating dbf files in any
format.

dbf structure is simple. I think this requires not too much code for this,
some code must exist.

I used dbf files some months ago and i used this driver:
