Slow in reading large DBF data files in C#.

[Man Nguyen]

Hi,
I am using C# to read large FoxPro data file (DBF). Everything works
fine except it is too slow to load the file in buffer (I think).
Anybody know how to solve this
problem please instruct me how. I am new to C# so I don't
know alternative way of reading data faster from database.
Appreciate your help.

Maybe you can read the DBF file directly, don't use the Data provider.
For this solution, you need know the DBF file format, I think you can
get the information from Google.
