Could ADO.net export DBF?

ADO.NET won't do anything like that.
Perhaps you might read data into a DataTable and save it into DBF but it
won't create a new database for you.
 
No. ADO.NET can extrude XML but no other database formats. However, it can
connect to DBF databases or any database with an OLE DB or ODBC (or .NET)
driver/provider.

Antony ... I'm pretty sure an export to an older dBase III format would be
simple to code ... in fact I prolly have the code laying around somewhere and
would be happy to share if you need it.

And ... I think that foxpro could still read that ...

The only tricks I can think of would be things like long field (column)
names, numbers of columns and datatype translations.

Exporting something like a table with 10 or 20 or 30 columns (not 300) of
"limited size" character and "numeric" fields should be a snap.

But ... I'm just talking from memory ... I didn't get into the way back
machine just yet. {;-)
