The System.Data.Odbc namespace is the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC.
Remarks
The .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC describes a collection of classes used to access an ODBC data source in the managed space. Using the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter class, you can fill a memory-resident System.Data.DataSet that you can use to query and update the data source.
For more information about how to use this namespace, see the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader, System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand, and System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection classes.
Classes
| Type | Reason |
|---|---|
| OdbcCommand |
Represents an SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcCommandBuilder |
Automatically generates single-table commands that are used to reconcile changes made to a System.Data.DataSet with the associated data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcConnection |
Represents an open connection to a data source. |
| OdbcConnectionStringBuilder |
Provides a simple way to create and manage the contents of connection strings used by the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection class. |
| OdbcDataAdapter |
Represents a set of data commands and a connection to a data source that are used to fill the System.Data.DataSet and update the data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcDataReader |
Provides a way of reading a forward-only stream of data rows from a data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcError |
Collects information relevant to a warning or error returned by the data source. |
| OdbcErrorCollection |
Collects all errors generated by the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcException |
The exception that is generated when a warning or error is returned by an ODBC data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcFactory |
Represents a set of methods for creating instances of the ODBC provider's implementation of the data source classes. |
| OdbcInfoMessageEventArgs |
Provides data for the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.InfoMessage event. |
| OdbcInfoMessageEventHandler |
Represents the method that will handle the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.InfoMessage event of an System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection. |
| OdbcMetaDataCollectionNames |
Provides a list of constants for use with the GetSchema method to retrieve metadata collections. |
| OdbcMetaDataColumnNames |
Provides static values that are used for the column names in the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcMetaDataCollectionNames objects contained in the System.Data.DataTable. The System.Data.DataTable is created by the GetSchema method. |
| OdbcParameter |
Represents a parameter to an System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand and optionally, its mapping to a System.Data.DataColumn. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcParameterCollection |
Represents a collection of parameters relevant to an System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand and their respective mappings to columns in a System.Data.DataSet. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcPermission |
Enables the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC to help make sure that a user has a security level sufficient to access an ODBC data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcPermissionAttribute |
Associates a security action with a custom security attribute. |
| OdbcRowUpdatedEventArgs |
Provides data for the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter.RowUpdated event. |
| OdbcRowUpdatedEventHandler |
Represents the method that will handle the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter.RowUpdated event of an System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter. |
| OdbcRowUpdatingEventArgs |
Provides data for the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter.RowUpdating event. |
| OdbcRowUpdatingEventHandler |
Represents the method that will handle the System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter.RowUpdating event of an System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter. |
| OdbcTransaction |
Represents an SQL transaction to be made at a data source. This class cannot be inherited. |
| OdbcType |
Specifies the data type of a field, property, for use in an System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter. |
