visual foxpro connection string

i have to extract some data from a foxpro database. I found a sample app that extracts data from a sql server db and stores the connection string in the app.config file in the following format -

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="test"
       connectionString="Data Source=localhost\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=test;Integrated Security=SSPI;Timeout=300;"
   开发者_StackOverflow社区    providerName="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
  </connectionStrings>

I would like to do the same thing in foxpro, but i don't know what to put for the providerName part of the configuration. i can get the connection string just fine. Does anyone have any idea what the provider name would be for visual foxpro?

Thanks

You'll need to download the VFP Provider

Then according to connection strings the connection string will be

Provider=vfpoledb;Data Source=C:\MyDbFolder\MyDbContainer.dbc;Collating Sequence=machine;

The provider name would be System.Data.OleDb

I actually ended up having to use the following for the providerName -

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection, System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

I am now getting the following error -

Specified Cast is Not Valid

but I am returning data, so I believe that is an unrelated issue. Thanks
