Question

I have an application designed by WinDev, and it stores its data in hyperfilesSql files. What I want to do, is to extract these data using a C# application.

I tried to find a OleDb Provider for these hyperfilesSql, but with no result. Any help?

Answer 1

Here is how do to it ^^ :

1 : You can get the OleDb Provider for hyperfileSql files from this page.

2 : Here is a simple exemple of the code used to extract data :

string connectionString = @"Provider=PCSOFT.HFSQL;Initial Catalog=C:\MyDataFolder";
string sql = @"SELECT * FROM MyTable"; //MyTable = The .FIC file

DataTable table = new DataTable();

using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
       using (OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql, connection))
       {
              adapter.Fill(table); //Fill the table with the extracted data
       }
}

gridControl1.DataSource = table; //Set the DataSource of my grid control
