I would like to be able able to implement some Access capabilities into my
C# project. Is that possible?
One of the capabilities I would need in my project is the Import Text Wizard
so I can import a text file (like in Access) into another file (an MDB).
Then the user would be able to divide the data, etc... any way he/she wants.

Thanks
 
Hi,

It is not completely clear to me what do you exactly want. If you just want
to mimic the corresponding MS Access features in your application, it is
definitely possible, but will require fair amount of work.

If you would like to re-use the MS Access Data Import Wizard, you should
refer to the MS Access Automation Reference to find out how to do that. I am
100% this IS possible from VBScript (at least without the UI) and therefore
should also be possible in C#.

Speaking of C# language itself, you will need Windows Forms, ADO .NET and
managed providers for OLEDB and ODBC in the first case, and extensive use of
COM Interop in the second one.
