Hi all,

I'm using Visual Fox Pro and I'm trying to made a little applications in
c# in order to show this table (DBF) inside my pocket pc's application. Is
it possible?
Anyone know how complete this task or some example code in order to
understand the method?
I'm so sorry for my bad english, I hope that you understand what I mean.

Thanks all,

Leonardo
 
Leonardo,

I have used Codebase and it works well with DBF files. I am also testing a
managed-code product that is currently in beta for DBF access.

But Codebase is not free ); there's nothing free?
Thanks in advance,

Leonardo,

I'm not aware of anything for free. But if all you want to do is read a DBF
file and use it in your app, you can look at a DBF file with something like
Notepad and determine how large the header is. Strip off the header and the
rest of the file would be just fixed-length fields that you could parse
yourself. The file formats for various DBF files are probably available on
the internet too.
