API for accessing a .dcb file

I want to access ie open/read contents or close a .dcb file through
API.Is there any api available to accomplise this task.
The current way followed by me is to change .dcb file to a csv file and
then parse this csv file to read the content but this seems to be a
novice approach.
If you know it then please share with me.

Chandan,

A dbc file is a FoxPro database file. You should be able to access it
through the ODBC drivers for FoxPro. You can access it through the classes
in the System.Data.Odbc namespace.

Hope this helps.

Hello om*******@gmail.com,

If u have some problems with ODBC, as Nicolas recomended u, I'd suggested
to use "CodeBase" library. It's a native access for that kind of DBs
