exporting a dataset or dataview to a dbf file

Hi!

I'm using visual studio .net 2003, creating a windowsapplicat ion. I'm also
using a SQL server for storing and retrieving data.

Is it possible for me, using the application, to create a dbf file and store
data from a dataset or a dataview in this file? And if so how?

greatful for any help.

Best regards

Hi Hans,

You can create a FoxPro DBF using standard SQL DDL.

Create Table MyTable (cField C(10), iField I, nField N(10, 2), dField D)
Insert Into MyTable (cField, iField, nField, dField) Values ("One", 1, 1.00,
{01/01/2001})
You can also create a linked server in SQL Server and insert data that way.
Use the latest FoxPro and Visual FoxPro OLE DB data provider, downloadable
from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates .

sp_addlinkedser ver 'MyLinkedServer ', 'Description', 'VfpOleDb.1',
'C:\MyPath\'
Select * From MyLinkedServer. ..MyTable

in order to implement sorting, paging in a datagrid, can I have the datasource of the datagrid a datareader or it must be a dataset then I create a dataview and make it a datasource of the datagrid? The reason I am asking this question is because I already created a datagrid and made its datasource a datareader, yet, could not implement sorting or paging. Any idea of how to approach it . thanks

Hi, This is probably a very simple question, but it's held me up for the last hour or two: I have a simple xml document and schema - all I am doing for the moment is loading the xml into a dataset built from the schema (primaryDriver1 in code), which has an associated dataview. A textbox (TextBox1) is bound to a field within the dataview:

I'm a little more used to contacting SQL servers instead of XML files, but have managed to read from the XML file and read/display the data. I thought I was able to change the data (from a form) as well, but realized the...
