You have to get the "dot net driver" of the database (or any other DataSource) you want to ACCESS to.

For example:

Mysql: Connector/Net

Access: Microsoft Access Driver

Oracle: Oracle Data Access COMPONENTS (ODAC)

Afterwards you build a connection STRING to tell your Program which driver you want to use and where the dataSource can be found.

for example:

Public const string DB_CONN_STRING = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "+ "DBQ=D: CSTestDbReadWriteSimpleTest.mdb";

Afterwards you just have to open a connection to the database using the previously created connection string and send a query to the database to get the RECORD:

ADO Connection conn = new ADO Connection (DB_CONN_STRING); 

Conn. Open (); 

ADODataReader dr;

ADO Command cmd = new ADO Command ( "SELECT * FROM

", Conn);

Cmd. Execute (out dr); 

while (dr.Read()){

....}
