.NET Forum / Languages / C# / March 2008oledb and dbase III files
hello, ive looked for decent OleDb Groups but have not found any.... Is there a Way to configure oledb jet.4.0 to read long filenames dbase III, dbase IV , etc I changed the Registry key to 01 to accept long file names , that did not work in my class im Renaming the File to a short name , then renaming it back to the original long file name, this works are there any better ways? thanks Analizer1, If you need the short file name, you could always convert it using the GetShortPathName Windows API function through the P/Invoke layer.

Clipper reads that without conversion but it dont understand what a mouse is..or anything but 8.3 ;) //CY I do not need short File Names the files come into our business from internet users as long file names these are dbase files and long names are not supported far as i know.... jet 3,5 0r jet 4.0 registry settings are long file name are not supported I will test with the GetShortPathName Thanks >> dbase III, dbase IV , etc > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > //CY >> dbase III, dbase IV , etc > Impressing! > .net and so on but still not dropping dBase... .NET has nothing to do with it. The support for dBase was baked into the OLEDB Jet Provider long before .NET. .NET simple has an ADO.NET provider that handles OLEDB providers. i understand the oledb is not net... as i said earlier...were programming using c# ado net... so i was only asking for peoples experiences with the underlying provider . thanks >>> dbase III, dbase IV , etc >> Impressing!
