Help! How do I get MS Access Field Properties in VB.net? (Thursday, December 16, 2004)
 

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Help! How do I get MS Access Field Properties in VB.net?
by:Anonymous

Hi there,
I am a bit new to vb.net. I have figured out how to use a data reader to get column and row information from my MS Access database using OLEDB. The problem is that while I can easily get the column names, I can NOT seem to get any properties associated with a given col.

For example, I have configured specific CAPTIONS in my Access DB that I would like utilize in my vb.net program. Any help would be appreciated!

 Please don't take my word for it, but i am sure any additional functionality provided by a specific back-end can only be accessible programatically ONLY IF the specific ODBC driver supports such functionality.

Did you try this in VB6, for example. Not by referencing the Access class by via ODBC.

 Hi Dtemlak,

I have seen this as well, however maybe you can ask this question as well in
the newsgroup

Maybe we get than both the answer.
