ODBC method in Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data

[srikrishnathanthri]

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.

Not sure exactly what you want, but I would suggest checking at Enterprise Library 5.0 – May 2011[^].

I want to connect Microsoft Access using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary, for that I need ODBC method.

Using the Data Access Application Block with Access is a bit like using one of those automated skyscraper construction platforms (image[^]) to build a hut ;)

No you don't. You can use an OleDb connection to connect to Microsoft Access and that's supported by the DAAB.

but we have migrated from OleDb to ODBC, so we cant go back to OleDb. Is there any other ways for me.?
