Accessing J4 type files.

Hi,

I want to know if I can open a "J4 file" in a .NET program. "J4" files are the main file used in the jBASE database system. So, if anyone 've ever tried accessing a J4 file using .NET, please let me know. Also, if anyone can give a list of files that can be accessed in .NET program, please provide the info.

Thanks.

    Carl Perry,

    Thanks for your reply. I already knew that jBASE have this kind of solution for the .NET developers and I'm still trying to adapt that solution. But, since jBASE is a FILE based DB and not like TABLE based DB, I was looking for an option in the System.IO itself, rather going for the ADO.NET. So, if anything can be done using the System.IO, please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Cheers,
    Babu.

    Babu S S,

       It appears that jBASE has an ADO.NET provider that is available through their company.  If you go to http://www.jbase.com/products/adaptor.html you can see information about it.  I have never used this solution and/or provider so I can not provide you with any background on it but they at least appear to have a solution.

    Thanks,

    Since .Net is a programming language, it has the potential to open/read any file type.  I believe you are refering to ADO.NET and its capabilities, which can connect to a variety of data sources. Are the driver files available for the jbase system ...is it odbc compliant
