Using Paradox Tables with .NET

By Wes Peterson

Posted 15 years ago on 11/5/2009

Take Away:

Although the .NET Framework is well "tuned" for MS SQL Server, it can also be pressed into service with other databases.

A somewhat unusual case is using ASP .NET to access and modify data in Paradox tables. If you're going to do that, the most important thing to know is which ODBC driver to use - because you will be using an ODBC Driver.

The driver to use was created by Intersolv and bundled with Paradox v9. That driver has a version designation of v3.11

I would say forget about the Microsoft Paradox ODBC drivers. None worked reliably for me, but the Intersolv driver worked great.
