Baren,

If you want to call it a default provider OleDB.

However it is not for nothing that in Net 2.0 there are now factory to use
more (Microsoft) providers.

I hope this helps,

Huh? When you start to code you choose the "provider" by the managed class
YOU code. ADO.NET does not default to anything. Yes, in ADO classic the
"default" provider was OLEDB. Remember: ADO.NET and ADO classic are totally
different--all they share in common are the fonts.

Bill,

You would not believe it, I know that. However, it is the way you translate
"default", strict you are right. If I replace it by the "the best one which
works on almost every database" than you have my answer.
