I'm trying to read some Paradox tables using C#. I can see the tables in
Server
Explorer but I can't seem to get the Connection and Data Adapter set up.
I'm
sure I'm missing something simple. Can someone point me in the right
direction?

Thanks,

Steve
 
Your connection string may be at fault here. Unfortuntely,
my code for this is at work. When I get back, I'll copy it
if someone doesn't get to you....

Here is also an issue I had:

After working with Microsoft for almost 2 weeks, the
conclusion is that the Jet engine cannot work with
some Paradox tables.

By some, I mean Paradox tables that contain no
indexes. Some of the old Paradox tables, especially
those that were created in the old Delphi 1 era,
contained no indexes. .NET doen't like that, so
it basically ignores any INSERT, UPDATE, or
DELETE sql command.

The option is to either not use .NET or add indexes
to the old tables.
