dotConnect Universal

dotConnect Universal is a handy database provider for both the .NET Framework and the .NET Compact Framework. It works with a bunch of databases like SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, InterBase, DB2, and Firebird. Plus, you can also connect to other servers using ODBC, ADO.NET, and OLE DB providers. How cool is that?

Easy to Use with ADO.NET

This tool relies solely on ADO.NET technology. If you’re already familiar with SQL Server or OLE DB .NET data providers, you’ll find it pretty easy to get started. The best part? dotConnect Universal lets you access multiple database servers without changing your code!

No More Conditional Code Headaches!

With this utility in your toolkit, there's no need to write all that conditional code for different providers anymore. You won't have to mess around with ADO.NET interfaces either! Plus, it supports design-time development and IDE integration which really helps speed things up.

Before You Install...

Before you dive into installing dotConnect Universal, just make sure you've got the .NET Framework installed on your PC; otherwise, it won't work its magic! The setup package comes with everything you need: runtime assemblies as well as samples and help documentation. And if you want to keep things neat and tidy, you can even avoid having it install assemblies in the GAC.

Installation Notes

After installation, you'll have providers for Firebird, MySQL, Oracle (including Oracle client), PostgreSQL, and SQLite copied right onto your hard drive. Pretty convenient!
