.NET equivalent to ADOX?

Is the functionality we had available via ActiveX Data Objects Extensions
also available to us when using the .NET Framework?

I'm interested in learning what I need to learn to develop a database
via code, add tables, or add columns to existing databases and so on.

I'm hoping somebody has learned to do this and will tell me how to use the
framework to do so.

Hi Clinton,

I don't think there is a managed version of the ADOX classes in the
framework but you can still use ADOX from .NET. When you go to Project|Add
Reference you can choose it off the COM tab.
 
Thanks Rob. I'll look at that.

Gee thanks Guinness. Did you used to work in a bookstore
loading the shelves? ;-)

No, but I have Safari Bookshelf from O'Reilly, so I just did a search
for books with ADO and NET in the titles and then pasted them into the
message.

You might consider getting a (free) trial membership in Safari -- that
would give you the opportunity to look over all those books (well, ten
of them anyway) and decide if any were worth buying.

I have no connection with Safari or O'Reilly, other than as a satisfied
consumer of their products and services.
