.UDL files with access database

[adaksh]

Dear friends,

I'm trying to retrieve connection string from .UDL file, but I always get an error message. What could be the probable cause of problem? for your information, I'm trying to connect with MS-Access database using OLEDB data access API. As well I placed my database file in bin folder of project as I don't want to right long string full of directories and sub-folders. I've a doubt in my mind about usage of .UDL files in case of MS-Access database, because I refered some text books and most of them talk about using .UDL files with SQL Server and all, but no specific example using MS-Access database.

Please, help me improve my code by answering the question above. Your timely help will be appreciated.

Regards.

to get the path to the dataBase file, simply use Application.StartupPath() and build the connection string dynamically.
