Is it possible to creat an application such that it could be run on any database... either Access , MySql.. or any other type... if so how would i be able to set up the connection in that case... And is it possible to not hardcode the address to the database
and instead have a prompt to get the address of the database and use it for the connection setup.. hopefuly i am making sence... i am just a beginger with a lot of stupid questions... :)
My first guess is using ODBC.Net http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemDataOdbc.asp?frame=true In web.confing keep your connection different connection strings according to use them.
how do i set up a connection .. can some one explain how the odbcConnection () works.. its variables... i could not understand the documentataion provided by msdn... i could not figure out how to establish a connection.. to a database...
