Hi,

I was just wondering, can DBISAM standard be used with Delphi for .NET?

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Only via the ODBC Driver and the ODBC.NET data provider.  However, it does
work pretty well, and the performance is good.

The ODBC.NET data provider is provided as part of Visual Studio and .NET, so
the documentation for it is there.  The only thing you need to know about
DBISAM's ODBC Driver is the connection string attributes, which are covered
in the manual here:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=mantopic&id=dbisam4odbc&category=2&topic=3

Also, per the information here for Visual Studio:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=mantopic&id=dbisam4odbc&category=1&topic=1

"It is recommended that you only use the ODBC.NET data provider with any
..NET application (VB.NET, ASP.NET, C#, Delphi.NET, Chrome). Also, since the
ODBC.NET data provider is accessing and using unmanaged resources and
handles in the ODBC driver during operation, you should always call the
Dispose method for any ODBCConnection, ODBCCommand, ODBCCommandBuilder, or
ODBCDataAdapter objects when you are done using them (deterministic
destruction). Failure to do so can cause major failures in the driver due to
the resources and handles being freed up re-entrantly when the .NET garbage
collector thread finalizes these objects."
