Introducing the c-treeACE SQL ADO.NET Data Provider

The .NET Framework is a computing platform greatly simplifying application development in the highly distributed environment of the Internet. ADO.NET provides a rich set of components to create distributed, disconnected and data-sharing applications. ADO.NET is an integral part of the .NET Framework, providing relational data access to systems such as FairCom's c-treeACE SQL.

A .NET Data Provider is a bridge used to connect ADO.NET applications to a database, execute commands and retrieve results. The c-treeACE SQL .NET Data Provider gives you access to your c-treeACE SQL data from a .NET application. The .NET Data Provider is lightweight, creating a thin layer between the data source and your code, thus increasing performance without sacrificing functionality. A .NET Data Provider consists of a set of classes implementing interfaces specified in Microsoft's specification for .NET Data Providers.

The c-treeACE SQL ADO.NET Data Provider gives you access to your c-treeACE SQL data through this easy to use interface. With integrated support for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, your application development could never be easier. Drop your components onto a Windows form and immediately begin accessing the power of c-treeACE SQL with your data.
