ODBC method in Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data

[IT researcher]

Hello,

I have a requirement of odbc connection method in Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data assembly(version 5). Whether it is available in Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary ?

Or it there any suitable alternatives for ODBC in Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary ?

Please help me.

Your question is a bit vague. Are you saying that you have an existing DSN that you need the Enterprise Library to connect to? If not, please try to provide a FULL and CLEAR description of the problem.

Yes I want to connect Microsoft Access using Enterprise Library. For that I need ODBC method.

Then you would create a Database object, passing the connection string and an OdbcFactory to the constructor.

I have to wonder why you're still using the Enterprise Library for data access though. It's rather out of date now.

ODBC can be achieved by "GenericDatabase" Class of Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data

Thank you all for your replies.
