  Using DAO in .Net (Thursday, September 02, 2004)




Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

DAO in .Net ?
by:Phil Hunt

I have a VB app that use DAO to connect to Access2K. I am thinking of changing the app to .Net, my question is can I keep the DAO, (mainly because it runs faster).
TIA.

 Hi Phil,

If you have collect more than enough documentation about DAO, does not ask any question somewhere, takes all responsibilities for errors on yourself, do never want to use Interenet in your applications and probably more disadvantage, I think that it will not be impossible to use DAO.

Otherwise use the very good ADO.net tools also not ADO, both DAO and ADO will give you mostly deployment problems what is better to avoid with dotNet.

I hope this helps anyway

Cor

Personally, I don't see any reason for sticking to DAO. Do it the .NET way -> ADO.NET.

You can continue to use DAO but if you encounter any issues with the VS.NET generated interop assembly I would recommend using the DAO PIA in XP.
