SharpDevelop Community

Hello all i using Sharp Developer Week ago specifically Visual Basic , i want to work with database , and when I tried to link emerged message that must be installed NET Framework SDK . When you've installed has been done to work with databases Is there a specific required ? I installed Release Microsoft .NET Framework SDK v1.1 Please help .

The version of the. net SDK  you need to install depends on the version of #develop you are using. And of course, you need to have the database you intend to use installed was well.

 mr.BernhardSpuida thank you for replay . i using open office base to database and I do not know that was consistent with sharpdeveloper

what is edition NET Framework SDK to using database?

Hi,

you need an appropriate NET Data Provider like System.Data.SqlClient for MS-SQL or FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient for Firebird. For many databases you can find hints on http://www.connectionstrings.com. But there's no way to connect to Open Office. I found a link in a German forum:

Openoffice benutzt HSQL als DB-Engine.

Es gibt einen HSQL Port incl. ADO.NET provider von Andres Vettori
( der hat auch Retina geschrieben ).

Leider ist sein gotdotnet workspace nicht mehr online.
Vielleicht kannst du von Ihm ja persönlich mehr erfahren.

Unfortunately, his gotdotnet workspace isn't available online any more.
Perhaps you can ask him directly.

You can use each NET Framework SDK version for database connections. But you have to use the correct version of each tool: SDK and SharpDevelop and SharpReport.

if you have in framework system.data.dll then no requrement for database connectivity.This dll have three connection type sql,odbc,oledb; if you use oracle then use oracle dll I hope this info useful for you. thanks
