Using Paradox Tables in C#

Bob
I'll try this again, see if anyone has a response....

Anyone done a DELETE or UPDATE on Paradox tables in C#?
I can read the stuff, but I can't delete records.

I tried using ExecuteNonQuery and it choked. Then I tried
using an Odbc data adapter. It didn't give an error, but it
also didn't change anything.

thanks,

Bob,

What do you mean when you write ExecuteNonQuery "choked"? Did you
get an error message?

Which ODBC driver are you using (file name, version #, etc.)? If you
are using the Paradox ODBC driver that comes with the MS Jet drivers,
realize that it has some documented limitations (see the help file at
C:\WINDOWS\syst em32\odbcjet.hl p). See the help file sections "DELETE
Statement Limitations" and "INSERT Statement Limitations".

Hope this helps.

I want to automate the import of 5 encrypted .db (Paradox) tables into a MS Access 2002 database every time the Access database is opened. I think I could use the TransferDatabase method to import the .db tables, but, since these tables are encrypted, I need to provide a password at the start of the import. Unfortunately, the .db tables are created as part of an application: I cannot unencrypt the tables nor set the password to...

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.

Hi, I'm an amateur programmer and I have been using Delphi but want to start using C#. I need to connect to some existing Paradox database tables but I'm not having any luck with it using C# 2005 Beta 2. I've searched with google and on MSDN but still can't get it working. I set up the connection using the wizards and in Server Explorer I can see the table fields. If I do a SQL Query, I can see the data. The problem is

Hi, I have a Paradox 10 data entry application. I have developed some VB.Net forms to lookup data. I want to use these VB.Net search forms with Paradox forms. Some data must be exchanged between the Paradox and VB.Net forms. I tried to use the .dll file created by Vb.Net project in the Paradox but couldn't create the instance of the Class file, and it's the same case if I create the UserControl. I cannot create an .ocx with

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
