Can I use LINQ in VB .Net 2008 to get to a Visual FoxPro Table? I've
seen demos of it with SQL Server but they've used it with a server
browser and I don't think that'd work when I need to see VFP tables.
 
Thanks. Linq to DataSet doesn't sound very helpful to me. It sounds as
if I'd have to load all the data I might be needing into datasets then
be able to query them vial Linq. I need to do queries, both reading and
writing, to these tables while our business system continue to work with
the data as well. This will be a real time portal into our system for
customers to inquire about account balances and set up accounts. I
can't load every customers information into data sets on the off chance
they'll submit an inquiry for their balance. I guess Linq will not be
of much help to me since I'm forced to pull most data from VFP tables.
Am I misunderstanding anything?
 
Hi Cj,

I'm afraid so far the built-in LINQ-SQL feature won't help much for Visual
Foxpro. There does exists some 3rd party community that are working on some
LINQ to other db projects:

#DbLinq Project: Linq Provider for MySql, Oracle and PostgreSQL
http://code2code.net/DB_Linq/

http://www.ayende.com/projects/scratch-pad.aspx

however, direct LINQ to VFP support is still uncertainty.
