[RESOLVED] VB.Net & Progress Database

[Strider]

Hello all,

been looking around on the net for some info on how to interact with vb.net and a progress database. Now unfortunatly for me its my 1st time using a Progress database so i'm unsure whether you need use ODBC, OLEDB or whatever.

what im aiming to achieve is to use a web service to pull data from the database.

so basically im just looking for some pointers in where to look for samples and info or any other info if anyone has used progress

Cheers dudes

Apparently the connection string you need is like this:

"User ID=root; Password=pwd; Host=localhost; Port=5432; Database=testdb;Pooling=true; Min Pool Size=0; Max Pool Size=100; Connection Lifetime=0"

And a bit more info can be found here

what type of data connection should be used for that, SqlClient? or Oledb or odbc

Or does progress have its open library connection?

Cheers

No idea I'm afraid - it's probably best to check out the pages at the site I linked to, or see if anyone in the .Net forums has used it before (if so, a quick search should give the answers).
