VC++ .NET and ADO .NET

[bayram]

Hello!
Can I use ADO .NET from VC++ .NET to manipulate a database?

Best regards,
Bayram.

Hi,

YES! You can use C++ (and Visual Studio.Net) to code ADO.NET stuff. The problem I had is that there is absolutly NO DOCUMENTATION available on the classes (but they are installed with Visual Studio) (May 2002).

I had to extrapolate the C# and VB members that are documented and "gues" by trial and error the C++ equivalent.

Each time I had an error/bug I would spend way to much time trying to debug.

So in the end I got a book on C#, and could do the database stuff faster by a factor of 5 or 10.

At least I learned something new.

Good luck
