Hi,
I'm trying to connect MS Access Database in ASP.net using C#.
How to go about it? What will be Provider, Connection String, DSN, DataSource?
If ODBC is required, which version? Which .net DLL is to be included as reference?
Thanks,
Asawari

hi, I'm also doing some searching on accessing MSAcess from C# and found some links that may be helpful. I think you need OLE DB.NET provider and use ADO.NET
http://www.dotnetspider.com/qa/Question23821.aspx
here is an excerpt
public void ConnectToAccess()
{
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection conn = new
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection();
// TODO: Modify the connection string and include any
// additional required properties for your database.
conn.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" +
@"Data source= C:\Documents and Settings\username\" +
@"My Documents\AccessFile.mdb";
try
{
conn.Open();
// Insert code to process data.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Failed to connect to data source");
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
}

Hi
thanks for your reply. But main problem was to choose appropriate provider. ie. Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
Then we can use OleDbAdapter and code further.
Thanks,
